Vulnerability details
An Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on ACX 7000 Series allows an unauthenticated, network based attacker to cause increased consumption of resources, ultimately resulting…
more
in a Denial of Service (DoS). When specific transit MPLS packets are received by the PFE, these packets are internally forwarded to the Routing Engine (RE), rather than being handled appropriately. Continuous receipt of these MPLS packets causes resources to be exhausted. MPLS config is not required to be affected by this issue. This issue affects Junos OS Evolved ACX 7000 Series: * All versions before 21.4R3-S9-EVO, * 22.2-EVO before 22.2R3-S4-EVO, * 22.3-EVO before 22.3R3-S3-EVO, * 22.4-EVO before 22.4R3-S2-EVO, * 23.2-EVO before 23.2R2-EVO, * 23.4-EVO before 23.4R1-S1-EVO, 23.4R2-EVO.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Authorizing wireless access restricts the wireless communication channel to only intended endpoints.
Approving specific exchanges and documenting interface characteristics restricts communication channels to only intended endpoints and systems.
Limits physical connectivity to transmission channels, supporting restriction of communication paths to only intended endpoints.
Requiring providers to meet communication-channel restrictions and monitoring adherence reduces improper restriction of channels to intended endpoints.
Mandates restriction of the channel for authentication to only the intended trusted endpoints, blocking unauthorized communication paths.
Explicit control of VoIP traffic forces organizations to restrict communication channels to only intended endpoints and protocols.
Explicit internal/external separation restricts name-resolution channels to their intended communication endpoints.
Enforces that the wireless communication channel is usable only by intended endpoints, addressing improper channel restriction.
