Description
An issue exists in the packet processing of Junos OS that can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS). An unauthenticated, network-adjacent attacker can send a specifically malformed ICMP packet, causing a Flexible Packet Processor (FPC) to crash and restart. The attack surface is limited to adjacent networks because upstream routers typically do not forward these malformed packets. This issue affects ICMPv4 only; ICMPv6 is not vulnerable. The vulnerability is triggered when an ICMP packet is received with a specifically malformed IP header value.
