Summary

Juniper Junos OS 9.1 through 11.4 before 11.4R11, 12.1 before R10, 12.1X44 before D40, 12.1X46 before D30, 12.1X47 before D11 and 12.147-D15, 12.1X48 before D41 and D62, 12.2 before R8, 12.2X50 before D70, 12.3 before R6, 13.1 before R4-S2, 13.1X49 before D49, 13.1X50 before 30, 13.2 before R4, 13.2X50 before D20, 13.2X51 before D25, 13.2X52 before D15, 13.3 before R2, and 14.1 before R1, when supporting 4-byte AS numbers and a BGP peer does not, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and RDP routing process crash and restart) via crafted transitive attributes in a BGP UPDATE.

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables
    This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
  • Overflow Buffers
    Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
  • Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow
    This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
  • Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow
    In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
  • MIME Conversion
    An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.
