CVE-2018-0017: SRX Series: Denial of service vulnerability in flowd daemon on devices configured with NAT-PT

A vulnerability in the Network Address Translation - Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) feature of Junos OS on SRX series devices may allow a certain valid IPv6 packet to crash the flowd daemon. Repeated crashes of the flowd daemon can result in an extended denial of service condition for the SRX device. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS: 12.1X46 versions prior to 12.1X46-D72; 12.3X48 versions prior to 12.3X48-D55; 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D90.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Certain Juniper SRX firewalls using NAT-PT can be knocked into a denial-of-service state by a valid IPv6 packet. The issue affects availability, not data theft or tampering. Business urgency is highest for internet-facing or critical SRX devices where firewall downtime would disrupt production traffic. Exposure appears limited to Juniper SRX Series devices running the listed Junos OS trains with NAT-PT enabled. Organizations not using NAT-PT, not running SRX devices, or already on fixed releases are unlikely to be affected based on the provided sources. Treat this as a high-priority firewall availability risk where SRX devices protect critical paths or public-facing services. It does not indicate data compromise, but repeated daemon crashes could interrupt traffic handling and business operations. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected SRX devices to 12.1X46-D72, 12.3X48-D55, 15.1X49-D90, or later supported releases.; Identify SRX devices where NAT-PT is enabled and prioritize those systems first.; If upgrade is delayed, review Juniper guidance for safe compensating controls..
