CVE-2025-30653: Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: LSP flap in a specific MPLS scenario leads to rpd crash
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)
- 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: 0.24% (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 22.2R3-S4, 22.4R3-S2, 23.2R2; Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 22.2R3-S4-EVO, 22.4R3-S2-EVO, 23.2R2-EVO.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Juniper Networks Junos OS 22.2R3-S4, 22.4R3-S2, 23.2R2; Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 22.2R3-S4-EVO, 22.4R3-S2-EVO, 23.2R2-EVO or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
An Expired Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Routing Protocol Daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause Denial of Service (DoS).On all Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms, when an MPLS Label-Switched Path (LSP) is configured with node-link-protection and transport-class, and an LSP flaps, rpd crashes and restarts. Continuous flapping of LSP can cause a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue affects: Junos OS: * All versions before 22.2R3-S4, * 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S2, * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2. Junos OS Evolved: * All versions before 22.2R3-S4-EVO, * 22.4-EVO versions before 22.4R3-S2-EVO, * 23.2-EVO versions before 23.2R2-EVO, * 23.4-EVO versions before 23.4R2-EVO.

Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
