CVE-2023-36841

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

Description

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows a unauthenticated network-based attacker to cause an infinite loop, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

An attacker who sends malformed TCP traffic via an interface configured with PPPoE, causes an infinite loop on the respective PFE. This results in consuming all resources and a manual restart is needed to recover.

This issue affects interfaces with PPPoE configured and tcp-mss enabled.
