2020-10 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: MX Series: Receipt of specific packets can
cause services card to restart when DNS filtering is configured. (CVE-2020-1660)
Article ID : JSA11054
Last Updated: 14 Oct 2020
Version : 1.0
Product Affected:
This issue affects Junos OS 17.3, 18.3, 18.4, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3. Affected
platforms: MX Series.
Problem:
When DNS filtering is enabled on Juniper Networks Junos MX Series with one of
the following cards MS-PIC, MS-MIC or MS-MPC, an incoming stream of packets
processed by the Multiservices PIC Management Daemon (mspmand) process,
responsible for managing "URL Filtering service", may crash, causing the
Services PIC to restart. While the Services PIC is restarting, all PIC services
including DNS filtering service (DNS sink holing) will be bypassed until the
Services PIC completes its boot process. This vulnerability might allow an
attacker to cause an extended Denial of Service (DoS) attack against the device
and to cause clients to be vulnerable to DNS based attacks by malicious DNS
servers when they send DNS requests through the device. As a result, devices
which were once protected by the DNS Filtering service are no longer protected
and at risk of exploitation.
This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS:
o 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S8;
o 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R3-S1;
o 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R3;
o 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R3;
o 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R2;
o 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R3.
This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS 17.4, 18.1, and 18.2.
The following minimal configuration is required:
[services web-filter profile profile-name dns-filter-template <template-name>]
Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
