Summary
Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved releases before the fixed versions listed in the solution are affected. An improper handling of length parameter inconsistency (CWE-130) in L2ALM lets an unauthenticated adjacent attacker obtain stale PFE packet memory through VXLAN overlay ping traffic sent to a local VTEP. The source description and CVSS 4.0 vector indicate low confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability impact.
