Junos OS: MX Series with MPC-BUILTIN, MPC 1 through MPC 9: Receipt and processing of a malformed packet causes one or more FPCs to crash

An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the connectivity fault management (CFM) daemon of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series with MPC-BUILTIN, MPC1 through MPC9 line cards allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to send a malformed packet to the device, leading to an FPC crash and restart, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

This issue affects Juniper Networks: Junos OS: * All versions before 22.2R3-S1, * from 22.4 before 22.4R2.

This feature is not enabled by default.
