CVE-2021-31371: Junos OS: QFX5000 Series: Traffic from the network internal to the device (128.0.0.0) may be forwarded to egress interfaces.
Juniper Networks Junos OS uses the 128.0.0.0/2 subnet for internal communications between the RE and PFEs. It was discovered that packets utilizing these IP addresses may egress an QFX5000 Series switch, leaking configuration information such as heartbeats, kernel versions, etc. out to the Internet, leading to an information exposure vulnerability.
