2021-04 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: Denial of Service in ppmd upon receipt of malformed packet (CVE-2021-0214)
Article ID : JSA11117
Last Updated: 14 Apr 2021
Version : 1.0
Product Affected:
This issue affects Junos OS 17.3, 17.4, 18.1, 18.2, 18.3, 18.4, 19.1, 19.2,
19.3, 19.4, 20.1, 20.2.
Problem:
A vulnerability in the distributed or centralized periodic packet management
daemon (PPMD) of Juniper Networks Junos OS may cause receipt of a malformed
packet to crash and restart the PPMD process, leading to network
destabilization, service interruption, and a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Continued receipt and processing of these malformed packets will repeatedly
crash the PPMD process and sustain the Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Due to the nature of the specifically crafted packet, exploitation of this
issue requires direct, adjacent connectivity to the vulnerable component.
This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS:
o 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S11;
o 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S12, 17.4R3-S4;
