CVE-2024-39560

Disclosure Date: July 10, 2024
Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

An Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a logically adjacent downstream RSVP neighbor to cause kernel memory exhaustion, leading to a kernel crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

The kernel memory leak and eventual crash will be seen when the downstream RSVP neighbor has a persistent error which will not be corrected.

System kernel memory can be monitored through the use of the ‘show system kernel memory’ command as shown below:

user@router> show system kernel memory  
Real memory total/reserved: 4130268/ 133344 Kbytes
kmem map free: 18014398509110220 Kbytes
