    ADVISORY    
*****************      

Number: AV10-002    
Date:  08 January 2010 
  
*************************************************    
JUNOS (Juniper) Flaw Exposes Core Routers to Kernel Crash
*************************************************      

PURPOSE
- --------- 
The purpose of this advisory is to bring attention to a vulnerability which
affects JUNOS (Juniper).


ASSESSMENT
- -------------

Crafted packets containing malformed TCP header options can be sent by remote
attackers which may crash Juniper kernels or cause JUNOS devices to reboot.
JUNOS firewalls are unable to filter the malformed data.

CCIRC is not aware of any reports indicating that this vulnerability is being
exploited, or that exploit code is available in the wild. 

The vendor does not release vulnerability news publicly, but their advisory
and updates are available to Juniper customers.

Affected versions include:
JUNOS 9.x 
JUNOS 7.x 
JUNOS 8.x 

Devices with JUNOS later than 1/28/09 already have the fix.


SUGGESTED ACTION
- ----------------

CCIRC recommends that administrators identify affected products, then test
and apply patches or workaround as appropriate.
