An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in BGP route processing of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an attacker to cause Routing Protocol Daemon (RPD) crash by sending a BGP route with invalid next-hop resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue only affects systems without import policy configured. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3-S4; 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S3; 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R3-S2; 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R2-S2, 21.4R3; 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R1-S2, 22.1R2; 22.2 versions prior to 22.2R1-S1, 22.2R2. Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 21.4-EVO versions prior to 21.4R2-S2-EVO, 21.4R3-EVO; 22.1-EVO versions prior to 22.1R1-S2-EVO, 22.1R2-EVO; 22.2-EVO versions prior to 22.2R1-S1-EVO, 22.2R2-EVO. This issue does not affect: Juniper Networks Junos OS versions prior to 21.1R1. Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved versions prior to 21.3R1-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 2023, 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.
