CVE-2023-22392

Disclosure Date: October 12, 2023
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).

PTX3000, PTX5000, QFX10000, PTX1000, PTX10002, and PTX10004, PTX10008 and PTX10016 with LC110x FPCs do not support certain flow-routes. Once a flow-route is received over an established BGP session and an attempt is made to install the resulting filter into the PFE, FPC heap memory is leaked. The FPC heap memory can be monitored using the CLI command “show chassis fpc”.

The following syslog messages can be observed if the respective filter derived from a flow-route cannot be installed.

expr_dfw_sfm_range_add:661 SFM packet-length Unable to get a sfm entry for updating the hw
expr_dfw_hw_sfm_add:750 Unable to add the filter secondarymatch to the hardware
