2019-04 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: Multiple FreeBSD vulnerabilities fixed in Junos OS.
Article ID: JSA10937
Last Updated: 12 Apr 2019
Version: 4.0
Product Affected:
Junos OS
Problem:
Multiple vulnerabilities that affect FreeBSD have been fixed in Junos OS.
Most Juniper devices are deployed in a manner that will offer multiple layers
of protection against successful exploit of these issues.
Limiting access to critical infrastructure networking equipment to only trusted
administrators from trusted administrative networks or hosts will prevent
untrusted code execution, which is required for successful exploitation of
these vulnerabilities.
Junos OS can only execute code signed by Juniper (e.g. veriexec code-signing
validation in Junos OS). This ensures that only code signed by Juniper can be
executed on the device. Administrators can check whether veriexec is enforced
by running the following command from the Junos OS shell:
% sysctl security.mac.veriexec.state
if veriexec is enforced, the output should be:
security.mac.veriexec.state: loaded active enforce
Additionally, on the platforms where veriexec is not enforced, the ability to
load or execute code is limited only to privilege users.
Note: on older Junos OS versions, the above command might give a different
result, on these releases the alternative command is:
/sbin/veriexec -i enforce
the exit status will be 0 (true) if it is being enforced.
If veriexec is enforced:
% /sbin/veriexec -i enforce || echo "ERROR: veriexec not enforced"
%
if veriexec is not enforced:
% /sbin/veriexec -i enforce || echo "ERROR: veriexec not enforced"
ERROR: veriexec not enforced
%
The vulnerabilities fixed include:
