An Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability on specific PTX Series devices, including the PTX1000, PTX3000 (NextGen), PTX5000, PTX10002-60C, PTX10008, and PTX10016 Series, in Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated MPLS-based attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering the dcpfe process to crash and FPC to restart. On affected PTX Series devices, processing specific MPLS packets received on an interface with multiple units configured may cause FPC to restart unexpectedly. Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue only affects PTX Series devices utilizing specific FPCs found on PTX1000, PTX3000 (NextGen), PTX5000, PTX10002-60C, PTX10008, and PTX10016 Series devices, only if multiple units are configured on the ingress interface, and at least one unit has 'family mpls' *not* configured. See the configuration sample below for more information. No other platforms are affected by this vulnerability. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS on PTX Series: All versions prior to 19.1R3-S9; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R3-S6; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R3-S6; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R3-S8; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R3-S4; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R3-S5; 20.3 versions prior to 20.3R3-S4; 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R3-S4; 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3-S2; 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S1; 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R3; 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R2; 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R2.

Fix

The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific issue: Junos OS 19.1R3-S9, 19.2R3-S6, 19.3R3-S6, 19.4R3-S8, 20.1R3-S4, 20.2R3-S5, 20.3R3-S4, 20.4R3-S4, 21.1R3-S2, 21.2R3-S1, 21.3R3, 21.4R2, 22.1R2, 22.2R1, and all subsequent releases.

Workaround

The FPC crash only occurs if specific MPLS packets are received on an interface with multiple units configured and at least one unit has family mpls not configured. Also, the first unit with family mpls configured is not the lowest numerical unit on that interface. A viable config-based workaround would be to reorder the unit numbers on core-facing interfaces to ensure the numerically lowest unit has 'family mpls' configured.
