Summary

Juniper Junos OS before 13.3R9, 14.1R6 before 14.1R6-S1, and 14.1 before 14.1R7, when configured with VPLS routing-instances, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive mbuf information by injecting a flood of Ethernet frames with IPv6 MAC addresses directly into a connected interface.

descriptionAccording to its self-reported version number and configuration, the remote Juniper Junos device is affected by a denial of service vulnerability when VPLS routing-instances are configured. An unauthenticated, adjacent attacker can exploit this, via Ethernet frames with the EtherType field of IPv6 (0x86DD), to cause a denial of service condition.
