6 | (AV:A/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C) | 07/10/2024 | 07/11/2024 | 01/28/2025 |
Description
An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Layer 2 Address Learning Daemon (l2ald) on Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause Denial of Service (DoS).
In an EVPN/VXLAN scenario, when a high amount specific Layer 2 packets are processed by the device, it can cause the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) to utilize all CPU resources which causes the device to hang. A manual restart of the rpd is required to restore services.
This issue affects both IPv4 and IPv6 implementations.
