CVE-2021-0250

In segment routing traffic engineering (SRTE) environments where the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) feature is enable, a vulnerability in the Routing Protocol Daemon (RPD) process of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an attacker to send a specific crafted BGP update message causing the RPD service to core, creating a Denial of Service (DoS) Condition. Continued receipt and processing of this update message will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue affects IPv4 and IPv6 environments. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS 17.4 versions 17.4R1 and above prior to 17.4R2-S6, 17.4R3; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S7; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R2-S6, 18.2R3-S3; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R1-S7, 18.3R2-S3, 18.3R3; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R1-S5, 18.4R2-S3, 18.4R3; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R1-S4, 19.1R2; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S3, 19.2R2, This issue does not affect Junos OS releases prior to 17.4R1. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 19.2-EVO versions prior to 19.2R2-EVO.

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.
