An Improper Validation of Syntactic Correctness of Input vulnerability in the IPsec library used by kmd and iked of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series and MX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a complete Denial-of-Service (DoS).
If an affected device receives a specifically malformed first ISAKMP packet from the initiator, the kmd/iked process will crash and restart, which momentarily prevents new security associations (SAs) for from being established. Repeated exploitation of this vulnerability causes a complete inability to establish new VPN connections.
This issue affects Junos OS on
SRX Series and MX Series:
* all versions before 22.4R3-S9,
* 23.2 version before 23.2R2-S6,

An Improper Following of a Certificate's Chain of Trust vulnerability in J-Web of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows a PITM to intercept the communication of the device and get access to confidential information and potentially modify it.
When an SRX device is provisioned to connect to Security Director (SD) cloud, it doesn't perform sufficient verification of the received server certificate. This allows a PITM to intercept the communication between the SRX and SD cloud and access credentials and other sensitive information.
This issue affects Junos OS:
* all versions before 22.4R3-S9,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S6,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S3,
* 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S2,

A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the Layer 2 Address Learning Daemon (l2ald) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a memory leak ultimately leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
In an EVPN-MPLS scenario, routes learned from remote multi-homed Provider Edge (PE) devices are programmed as ESI routes. Due to a logic issue in the l2ald memory management, memory allocated for these routes is not released when there is churn for these routes. As a result, memory leaks in the l2ald process which will ultimately lead to a crash and restart of l2ald.
Use the following command to monitor the memory consumption by l2ald:
user@device> show system process extensive | match "PID|l2ald"
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* all versions before 22.4R3-S5,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S3,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S4,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2;

An Incorrect Synchronization vulnerability in the management daemon (mgd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a network-based attacker with low privileges to cause a complete Denial-of-Service (DoS) of the management plane.
When NETCONF sessions are quickly established and disconnected, a locking issue causes mgd processes to hang in an unusable state. When the maximum number of mgd processes has been reached, no new logins are possible. This leads to the inability to manage the device and requires a power-cycle to recover.
This issue can be monitored by checking for mgd processes in lockf state in the output of 'show system processes extensive':
user@host> show system processes extensive | match mgd
<pid> root 20 0 501M 4640K lockf 1 0:01 0.00% mgd
If the system still can be accessed (either via the CLI or as root, which might still be possible as last resort as this won't invoke mgd), mgd processes in this state can be killed with 'request system process terminate <PID>' from the CLI or with 'kill -9 <PID>' from the shell.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S4,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S1,
* 24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S3, 24.4R2;
This issue does not affect Junos OS versions before 23.4R1;
Junos OS Evolved:
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S5-EVO,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S1-EVO,
* 24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S3-EVO, 24.4R2-EVO.

An Incorrect Initialization of Resource vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on specific EX Series and QFX Series device allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause an integrity impact to downstream networks.
When the same family inet or inet6 filter is applied on an IRB interface and on a physical interface as egress filter on EX4100, EX4400, EX4650 and QFX5120 devices, only one of the two filters will be applied, which can lead to traffic being sent out one of these interfaces which should have been blocked.
This issue affects Junos OS on EX Series and QFX Series:
* 23.4 version 23.4R2-S6,
* 24.2 version 24.2R2-S3.
No other Junos OS versions are affected.

On all SRX and MX Series platforms, when during TCP session establishment a specific sequence of packets is encountered a double free happens. This causes flowd to crash and the respective FPC to restart.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX and MX Series:
* all versions before 22.4R3-S7,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S3,
