2021-04 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: ACX5448, ACX710: BFD sessions might flap
due to high rate of transit ARP packets (CVE-2021-0216)
Article ID : JSA11118
Last Updated: 14 Apr 2021
Version : 1.0
Product Affected:
This issue affects Junos OS 18.2, 18.3, 18.4, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 20.1,
20.2. Affected platforms: ACX5448, ACX710
Problem:
A vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS running on the ACX5448 and ACX710
platforms may cause BFD sessions to flap when a high rate of transit ARP
packets are received. This, in turn, may impact routing protocols and network
stability, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
When a high rate of transit ARP packets are exceptioned to the CPU and BFD
flaps, the following log messages may be seen:
bfdd[15864]: BFDD_STATE_UP_TO_DOWN: BFD Session 192.168.14.3 (IFL 232) state Up
- -> Down LD/RD(17/19) Up time:11:38:17 Local diag: CtlExpire Remote diag: None
Reason: Detect Timer Expiry.
bfdd[15864]: BFDD_TRAP_SHOP_STATE_DOWN: local discriminator: 17, new state:
down, interface: irb.998, peer addr: 192.168.14.3
rpd[15839]: RPD_ISIS_ADJDOWN: IS-IS lost L2 adjacency to peer on irb.998,
reason: BFD Session Down
bfdd[15864]: BFDD_TRAP_SHOP_STATE_UP: local discriminator: 17, new state: up,
interface: irb.998, peer addr: 192.168.14.3
