2021-04 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: SRX Series: An assertion failure in BIND
can be used to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) (CVE-2020-8622)
Article ID : JSA11116
Last Updated: 14 Apr 2021
Version : 2.0
Product Affected:

Problem:
A vulnerability in BIND, used in Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series
devices, may allow an attacker on the network path for a transaction
signature-signed request (TSIG-signed request), to trigger an assertion
failure, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Alternately, an off-path attacker would have to correctly guess when a
TSIG-signed request was sent, along with other characteristics of the packet
and message, and spoof a truncated response to cause a Denial of Service (DoS)
condition.
This issue only affect SRX Series devices, which is the only platform that
ships with BIND software. No other products or platforms are affected by this
vulnerability.
