Junos OS: MX Series: Subscriber login/logout activity will lead to a memory leak

Published Apr 9, 2025 · Updated Apr 9, 2025 · Assigned by juniper

Description

A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

In a subscriber management scenario, login/logout activity triggers a memory leak, and the leaked memory gradually increments and eventually results in a crash.
