CVE-2026-57027
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on specific EX Series devices allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).When sFlow is configured in a Virtual Chassis (VC) scenario with EX4100 Series or EX4400 Series devices, multicast traffic which is received on one VC member and sent out on another member leads to a memory leak and ultimately an FPC crash and restart. The leak can be monitored by watching the continuous increase of the buffer values in the output of: user@host> show chassis fpc This issue affects Junos OS on EX4100 Series and EX4400: * all versions before 23.2R2-S7, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S4, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad de Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime en el motor de reenvío de paquetes (pfe) de Juniper Networks Junos OS en dispositivos específicos de la serie EX permite a un atacante adyacente no autenticado causar una denegación de servicio (DoS). Cuando sFlow está configurado en un escenario de Virtual Chassis (VC) con dispositivos de la serie EX4100 o EX4400, el tráfico de multidifusión que se recibe en un miembro del VC y se envía a otro miembro provoca una fuga de memoria y, en última instancia, un fallo y reinicio del FPC.\n\nLa fuga puede ser monitoreada observando el aumento continuo de los valores del búfer en la salida de:\n\nuser@host> show chassis fpc\nEste problema afecta a Junos OS en las series EX4100 y EX4400:\n\n * todas las versiones anteriores a 23.2R2-S7,\n * versiones 23.4 anteriores a 23.4R2-S7,\n * versiones 24.2 anteriores a 24.2R2-S4,\n * versiones 24.4 anteriores a 24.4R2."
