Juniper Junos ALG Fragmented Traffic Handling MS-MPC / MS-MIC Service PIC DoS (JSA10794)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 102707

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

According to its self-reported version and model number, the remote Juniper Junos device is affected by a denial of service vulnerability in the Application Layer Gateway (ALG) that is triggered when handling a large amount of fragmented packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to crash an MS-MPC or MS-MIC service physical interface card (PIC).

Note that the device is only vulnerable if NAT or stateful-firewall rules are configured with ALGs enabled

Solution

Upgrade to the relevant Junos software release referenced in Juniper security advisory JSA10794. Alternatively, disable NAT and the stateful-firewall if they are not required.
