CVE Alert: CVE-2025-21600

Vulnerability Summary: CVE-2025-21600

An Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, logically adjacent BGP peer sending a specifically malformed BGP packet to cause rpd to crash and restart, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue only affects systems configured in either of two ways: * systems with BGP traceoptions enabled * systems with BGP family traffic-engineering (BGP-LS) configured and can be exploited from a directly connected and configured BGP peer. This issue affects iBGP and eBGP with any address family configured, and both IPv4 and IPv6 are affected by this vulnerability. This issue affects: Junos OS: * All versions before 21.4R3-S9, * from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5, * from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S4, * from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S5, * from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3, * from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S3, * from 24.2 before 24.2R1-S2, 24.2R2; Junos OS Evolved: * All versions before 21.4R3-S9-EVO, * from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S5-EVO, * from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S4-EVO, * from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S5-EVO, * from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3-EVO, * from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S2-EVO, * from 24.2 before 24.2R1-S2-EVO, 24.2R2-EVO. This is a similar, but different vulnerability than the issue reported as CVE-2024-39516.
