CVE-2021-0205

When the "Intrusion Detection Service" (IDS) feature is configured on Juniper Networks MX series with a dynamic firewall filter using IPv6 source or destination prefix, it may incorrectly match the prefix as /32, causing the filter to block unexpected traffic. This issue affects only IPv6 prefixes when used as source and destination. This issue affects MX Series devices using MS-MPC, MS-MIC or MS-SPC3 service cards with IDS service configured. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S10 on MX Series; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R3-S3 on MX Series; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S11 on MX Series; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S6 on MX Series; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R3-S4 on MX Series; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R3-S6 on MX Series; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2-S2, 19.1R3-S3 on MX Series; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R3-S1 on MX Series; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2-S5, 19.3R3-S1 on MX Series; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R3 on MX Series; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R2 on MX Series; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R2 on MX Series;

How SecUtils Interprets This CVE

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.
