A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the DHCP daemon (jdhcpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series, allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a memory leak, that will eventually cause a complete Denial-of-Service (DoS).

In a DHCPv6 over PPPoE, or DHCPv6 over VLAN with Active lease query or Bulk lease query scenario, every subscriber logout will leak a small amount of memory. When all available memory has been exhausted, jdhcpd will crash and restart which causes a complete service impact until the process has recovered.

The memory usage of jdhcpd can be monitored with:

user@host> show system processes extensive | match jdhcpd

This issue affects Junos OS:

all versions before 22.4R3-S1, 23.2 versions before 23.2R2, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2.

A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the BroadBand Edge subscriber management daemon (bbe-smgd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).

If the authentication packet-type option is configured and a received packet does not match that packet type, the memory leak occurs. When all memory

available to bbe-smgd has been consumed, no new subscribers will be able to login.

The memory utilization of bbe-smgd can be monitored with the following show command:

user@host> show system processes extensive | match bbe-smgd

The below log message can be observed when this limit has been reached:

bbesmgd[<PID>]: %DAEMON-3-SMDDPROFRSMONERROR: Resource unavailability, Reason: Daemon Heap Memory exhaustion

This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series: all versions before 22.4R3-S8, 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2, 25.2 versions before 25.2R2.

A Missing Authorization vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows a local, authenticated user with low privileges to execute specific commands which will lead to a complete compromise of managed devices.

Any user logged in, without requiring specific privileges, can issue 'request csds' CLI operational commands. These commands are only meant to be executed by high privileged or users designated for Juniper Device Manager (JDM) / Connected Security Distributed Services (CSDS) operations as they will impact all aspects of the devices managed via the respective MX.

This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series:

24.4 releases before 24.4R2-S3,  25.2 releases before 25.2R2.

This issue does not affect Junos OS releases before 24.4.
