On Juniper Networks Junos MX Series with service card configured, receipt of a stream of specific packets may crash the MS-PIC component on MS-MIC or MS-MPC. By continuously sending these specific packets, an attacker can repeatedly bring down MS-PIC on MS-MIC/MS-MPC causing a prolonged Denial of Service. This issue affects MX Series devices using MS-PIC, MS-MIC or MS-MPC service cards with any service configured. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series: 17.2R2-S7; 17.3R3-S4, 17.3R3-S5; 17.4R2-S4 and the subsequent SRs (17.4R2-S5, 17.4R2-S6, etc.); 17.4R3; 18.1R3-S3, 18.1R3-S4, 18.1R3-S5, 18.1R3-S6, 18.1R3-S7, 18.1R3-S8; 18.2R3, 18.2R3-S1, 18.2R3-S2; 18.3R2 and the SRs based on 18.3R2; 18.4R2 and the SRs based on 18.4R2; 19.1R1 and the SRs based on 19.1R1; 19.2R1 and the SRs based on 19.2R1; 19.3R1 and the SRs based on 19.3R1.
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 16 products from juniper, from juniper, from juniper and 13 others, 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.
