Summary

Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved releases before the fixed versions listed in the solution are affected. An out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) in the routing protocol daemon rpd crashes rpd when a graceful-shutdown sender community is added while advertising routes that carry a specific set of BGP communities. An adjacent attacker with low privileges can cause a denial of service by sending that set of BGP communities.
