2022-01 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: An attacker sending crafted packets can cause a traffic and CPU Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2022-22159)
Article ID : JSA11267
Last Updated: 12 Jan 2022
Version : 1.0
Product Affected:
This issue affects Junos OS 17.3R3-S9 and above, 17.4R3-S3 and above,
18.1R3-S11, 18.2R3-S6 and above, 18.3R3-S4 and above, 18.4R3-S5 and above,
19.1R3-S3 and above.
Problem:
A vulnerability in the NETISR network queue functionality of Juniper Networks
Junos OS kernel allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by
sending crafted genuine packets to a device. During an attack, the routing
protocol daemon (rpd) CPU may reach 100% utilization, yet FPC CPUs forwarding
traffic will operate normally. This attack occurs when the attackers' packets
are sent over an IPv4 unicast routing equal-cost multi-path (ECMP) unilist
selection.
Continued receipt and processing of these packets will create a sustained
Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
An indicator of compromise may be to monitor NETISR drops in the network with
the assistance of JTAC. Please contact JTAC for technical support for further
guidance.
This issue affects:
Juniper Networks Junos OS
