HIGH Summary
The srxpfe process may crash on SRX Series services gateways when the UTM module processes a specific fragmented HTTP packet. The packet is misinterpreted as a regular TCP packet which causes the processor to crash. This issue affects all SRX Series platforms that support URL-Filtering and have web-filtering enabled. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS: 12.3X48 versions prior to 12.3X48-D85 on SRX Series; 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D181, 15.1X49-D190 on SRX Series; 17.3 versions on SRX Series; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R1-S8, 17.4R2-S5, 17.4R3 on SRX Series; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S6 on SRX Series; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R2-S1, 18.2R3 on SRX Series; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R1-S2, 18.3R2 on SRX Series; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R1-S1, 18.4R2 on SRX Series.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- HTTP Request Splitting HTTP Request Splitting (also known as HTTP Request Smuggling) is an attack pattern where an attacker attempts to insert additional HTTP requests in the body of the original (enveloping) HTTP request in such a way that the browser interprets it as one request but the web server interprets it as two. There are several ways to perform HTTP request splitting attacks. One way is to include double Content-Length headers in the request to exploit the fact that the devices parsing the request may each use a different header. Another way is to submit an HTTP request with a "Transfer Encoding: chunked" in the request header set with setRequestHeader to allow a payload in the HTTP Request that can be considered as another HTTP Request by a subsequent parsing entity. A third way is to use the "Double CR in an HTTP header" technique. There are also a few less general techniques targeting specific parsing vulnerabilities in certain web servers.
- HTTP Response Smuggling An attacker injects content into a server response that is interpreted differently by intermediaries than it is by the target browser. To do this, it takes advantage of inconsistent or incorrect interpretations of the HTTP protocol by various applications. For example, it might use different block terminating characters (CR or LF alone), adding duplicate header fields that browsers interpret as belonging to separate responses, or other techniques. Consequences of this attack can include response-splitting, cross-site scripting, apparent defacement of targeted sites, cache poisoning, or similar actions.
- HTTP Request Smuggling HTTP Request Smuggling results from the discrepancies in parsing HTTP requests between HTTP entities such as web caching proxies or application firewalls. Entities such as web servers, web caching proxies, application firewalls or simple proxies often parse HTTP requests in slightly different ways. Under specific situations where there are two or more such entities in the path of the HTTP request, a specially crafted request is seen by two attacked entities as two different sets of requests. This allows certain requests to be smuggled through to a second entity without the first one realizing it.

| description | The version of Junos OS installed on the remote host is prior to 12.3X48-D85, 15.1X49-D181, 17.4R1-S8, 18.1R3-S6, 18.2R2-S1, 18.3R1-S2, or 18.4R1-S1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSA10946 advisory. Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application |
