CVE-2024-47501: Junos OS: MX304, MX with MPC10/11/LC9600, and EX9200 with EX9200-15C: In a VPLS or Junos Fusion scenario specific show commands cause FPCs to crash

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)

  • 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: 0.20% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Juniper Networks Junos OS 21.2R3-S1, 21.3R3, 21.4R2.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Juniper Networks Junos OS 21.2R3-S1, 21.3R3, 21.4R2 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

A NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX304, MX with MPC10/11/LC9600, and EX9200 with EX9200-15C allows a locally authenticated attacker with low privileges to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). In a VPLS or Junos Fusion scenario, the execution of specific show commands will cause all FPCs hosting VPLS sessions or connecting to satellites to crash and restart. This issue affects Junos on MX304, MX with MPC10/11/LC9600 and EX9200 with EX9200-15C:  * All version before 21.2R3-S1, * 21.3 versions before 21.3R3,  * 21.4 versions before 21.4R2.
