2022-01 Security Bulletin: MX Series and SRX series: Flowd core observed if the SIP ALG is enabled and a specific Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) packet is received (CVE-2022-22178)

Article ID  : JSA11284
Last Updated: 24 Feb 2022
Version     : 2.0

Product Affected:
This issue affects Junos OS 20.4, 21.1, 21.2, 21.3. Affected platforms: MX
Series, SRX series.
Problem:

A Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in the flow processing daemon
(flowd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series and SRX series allows an
unauthenticated networked attacker to cause a flowd crash and thereby a Denial
of Service (DoS). Continued receipt of these specific packets will cause a
sustained Denial of Service condition.

This issue can be triggered by a specific Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
invite packet if the SIP ALG is enabled. Due to this, the PIC will be rebooted
and all traffic that traverses the PIC will be dropped.

This issue affects:

Juniper Networks Junos OS

  o 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R3-S2;
  o 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R2-S1, 21.1R3;
  o 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R2;
  o 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R2.

This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS versions prior to 20.4R1.

To be affected the SIP ALG needs to be enabled, either implicitly / by default
or by way of configuration. Please verify on SRX with:

user@host> show security alg status | match sip
SIP : Enabled

Please verify on MX whether the following is configured:

[ services ... rule <rule-name> (term <term-name>) from/match application/
application-set <name> ]

where either

a. name = junos-sip or

an application or application-set refers to SIP:

b. [ applications application <name> application-protocol sip ] or

c. [ applications application-set <name> application junos-sip ]

Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
