CVE-2024-47499Network attack vector

RPD crash via malformed BGP AS PATH

Published Oct 11, 2024 · Updated Oct 11, 2024

Denial of service in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows remote attackers to crash and restart RPD. With BMP rib-in pre-policy monitoring enabled, RPD processes a specifically malformed AS PATH attribute instead of rejecting it, triggering a crash. The sender must have an established BGP session, and exploitation interrupts routing while RPD restarts.
