CVE-2018-0027: Junos OS: Receipt of malformed RSVP packet may lead to RPD denial of service

Receipt of a crafted or malformed RSVP PATH message may cause the routing protocol daemon (RPD) to hang or crash. When RPD is unavailable, routing updates cannot be processed which can lead to an extended network outage. If RSVP is not enabled on an interface, then the issue cannot be triggered via that interface. This issue only affects Juniper Networks Junos OS 16.1 versions prior to 16.1R3. This issue does not affect Junos releases prior to 16.1R1.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malformed RSVP network packet can crash or hang Junos OS routing software on affected Juniper devices. If triggered, the device may stop processing routing updates, creating a risk of extended network outage. Exposure is limited to Junos OS 16.1 before 16.1R3 and only where RSVP is enabled on an interface. Organizations are likely exposed only if they run Junos OS 16.1 before 16.1R3 and have RSVP enabled on reachable interfaces. Sources state releases before 16.1R1 are not affected. Treat this as high priority for networks using Juniper RSVP/MPLS features because successful triggering can disrupt routing availability. It is narrower than a broad internet software flaw, so prioritize confirmed Junos 16.1 RSVP deployments first. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Junos OS 16.1 systems to 16.1R3 or later per Juniper guidance.; Disable RSVP on interfaces where it is not operationally required.; Prioritize devices where RSVP-enabled interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks..
