CVE-2024-39541: Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: Inconsistent information in the TE database can lead to an rpd crash

HighCVSS 7.1 · v4.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 28/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.33% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Juniper Networks Junos OS 22.4R3-S1, 23.2R2, 23.4R1-S1, 23.4R2; Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 22.4R3-S2-EVO, 23.2R2-EVO, 23.4R1-S1-EVO, 23.4R2-EVO.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Juniper Networks Junos OS 22.4R3-S1, 23.2R2, 23.4R1-S1, 23.4R2; Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 22.4R3-S2-EVO, 23.2R2-EVO, 23.4R1-S1-EVO, 23.4R2-EVO or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

An Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS). When conflicting information (IP or ISO addresses) about a node is added to the Traffic Engineering (TE) database and then a subsequent operation attempts to process these, rpd will crash and restart. This issue affects: Junos OS: * 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S1, * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2,  * 23.4 versions before 23.4R1-S1, 23.4R2,  This issue does not affect Junos OS versions earlier than 22.4R1. Junos OS Evolved: * 22.4-EVO versions before 22.4R3-S2-EVO, * 23.2-EVO versions before 23.2R2-EVO, * 23.4-EVO versions before 23.4R1-S1-EVO, 23.4R2-EVO, This issue does not affect Junos OS Evolved versions earlier than before 22.4R1.
