Patch availableAn Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a network-based, unauthenticated attacker to send a specific routing update, causing an rpd core due to memory corruption, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue can only be triggered when the system is configured for CoS-based forwarding (CBF) with a policy map containing a cos-next-hop-map action (see below). This issue affects: Junos OS: * all versions before 20.4R3-S10, * from 21.2 before 21.2R3-S8, * from 21.3 before 21.3R3, * from 21.4 before 21.4R3, * from 22.1 before 22.1R2; Junos OS Evolved: * all versions before 21.2R3-S8-EVO, * from 21.3 before 21.3R3-EVO, * from 21.4 before 21.4R3-EVO, * from 22.1 before 22.1R2-EVO.

The product does not handle or incorrectly handles an exceptional condition.
An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may disrupt the affected service.

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
CWE-755: Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions. The product does not handle or incorrectly handles an exceptional condition.
