Description
An Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a high privileged, local attacker to escalated their privileges to root.
When a user provides specifically crafted arguments to the 'request system logout' command, these will be executed as root on the shell, which can completely compromise the device.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* all versions before 21.2R3-S9,
* 21.4 versions before 21.4R3-S8,
* 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S6,
* 22.3 versions before 22.3R3-S3,
* 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S6,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S1,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R1-S2, 23.4R2;
