Description
An Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a limited information disclosure and availability impact to the device.


Due to a wrong initialization, a process which should only be able to communicate internally within the device can be reached over the network via an open port. This leads to a device being inadvertently exposed and increased CPU cycles spent processing ingress packets.

This issue affects Junos OS Evolved:


* all versions before 23.2R2-S7-EVO,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8-EVO,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5-EVO,
