On Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved devices, processing a specific BGP packet can lead to a routing process daemon (RPD) crash and restart. This issue can occur even before the BGP session with the peer is established. Repeated receipt of this specific BGP packet can result in an extended Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS: 18.2X75 versions starting from 18.2X75-D50.8, 18.2X75-D60 and later versions, prior to 18.2X75-D52.8, 18.2X75-D53, 18.2X75-D60.2, 18.2X75-D65.1, 18.2X75-D70; 19.4 versions 19.4R1 and 19.4R1-S1; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R1-S2, 20.1R2. Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved: 19.4-EVO versions prior to 19.4R2-S2-EVO; 20.1-EVO versions prior to 20.1R2-EVO. This issue does not affect: Juniper Networks Junos OS releases prior to 19.4R1. Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved releases prior to 19.4R1-EVO.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 2 products from juniper, from juniper organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2020, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For juniper's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
