CVE-2019-0028: Junos OS: RPD process crashes due to specific BGP peer restarts condition.

On Junos devices with the BGP graceful restart helper mode enabled or the BGP graceful restart mechanism enabled, a BGP session restart on a remote peer that has the graceful restart mechanism enabled may cause the local routing protocol daemon (RPD) process to crash and restart. By simulating a specific BGP session restart, an attacker can repeatedly crash the RPD process causing prolonged denial of service (DoS). Graceful restart helper mode for BGP is enabled by default. No other Juniper Networks products or platforms are affected by this issue. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS: 16.1 versions prior to 16.1R7; 16.1X65 versions prior to 16.1X65-D48; 16.2 versions prior to 16.2R2-S8; 17.1 versions prior to 17.1R2-S7, 17.1R3; 17.2 versions prior to 17.2R1-S7, 17.2R3; 17.2X75 versions prior to 17.2X75-D92, 17.2X75-D102, 17.2X75-D110; 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R2-S2, 17.3R3; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R1-S4, 17.4R2; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R2. Junos OS releases prior to 16.1R1 are not affected.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw can make affected Junos OS routers repeatedly restart their routing protocol process when a BGP peer restart condition is triggered. The business impact is routing instability and prolonged denial of service, not data theft. Graceful restart helper mode is enabled by default, so affected BGP-enabled Junos deployments deserve prompt review. Exposure is concentrated in Juniper Junos OS routing devices running affected releases with BGP graceful restart helper mode or graceful restart enabled. Helper mode is enabled by default. Junos OS before 16.1R1 and non-Junos Juniper products are reported not affected. Treat as high priority for network operations. The issue threatens availability of routing infrastructure and may cause prolonged service disruption, but sources do not indicate confidentiality or integrity impact. Remediate affected BGP routers through tested Junos upgrades. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Junos OS to the fixed release for the installed train.; Prioritize internet-facing, edge, and core routers running affected Junos versions.; Check Juniper advisory JSA10932 for current vendor guidance..

Improper Resource Shutdown or Release

Improper Resource Shutdown or Release represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
