On Juniper Networks EX4300 Series, receipt of a stream of specific IPv4 packets can cause Routing Engine (RE) high CPU load, which could lead to network protocol operation issue and traffic interruption. This specific packets can originate only from within the broadcast domain where the device is connected. This issue occurs when the packets enter to the IRB interface. Only IPv4 packets can trigger this issue. IPv6 packets cannot trigger this issue. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX4300 series: 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S9; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S11, 17.4R3-S2; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S10; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S4; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R2-S4, 18.3R3-S2; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R2-S4, 18.4R3-S2; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2-S2, 19.1R3-S1; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S5, 19.2R2-S1, 19.2R3; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2-S4, 19.3R3; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R1-S3, 19.4R2; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R1-S3, 20.1R2.

CVE-2020-1628
Juniper Networks Junos OS uses the 128.0.0.0/2 subnet for internal communications between the RE and PFEs. It was discovered that packets utilizing these IP addresses may egress an EX4300 switch, leaking configuration information such as heartbeats, kernel versions, etc. out to the Internet, leading to an information exposure vulnerability. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS: 14.1X53 versions prior to 14.1X53-D53 on EX4300; 15.1 versions prior to 15.1R7-S6 on EX4300; 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D200, 15.1X49-D210 on EX4300; 16.1 versions prior to 16.1R7-S7 on EX4300; 17.1 versions prior to 17.1R2-S11, 17.1R3-S2 on EX4300; 17.2 versions prior to 17.2R3-S3 on EX4300; 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R2-S5, 17.3R3-S7 on EX4300; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S9, 17.4R3 on EX4300; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S8 on EX4300; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S2 on EX4300; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R2-S3, 18.3R3, 18.3R3-S1 on EX4300; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R1-S5, 18.4R2-S3, 18.4R3 on EX4300; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R1-S4, 19.1R2 on EX4300; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S4, 19.2R2 on EX4300; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R1-S1, 19.3R2 on EX4300.
CVE-2020-1618
On Juniper Networks EX and QFX Series, an authentication bypass vulnerability may allow a user connected to the console port to login as root without any password. This issue might only occur in certain scenarios: • At the first reboot after performing device factory reset using the command “request system zeroize”; or • A temporary moment during the first reboot after the software upgrade when the device configured in Virtual Chassis mode. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX and QFX Series: 14.1X53 versions prior to 14.1X53-D53; 15.1 versions prior to 15.1R7-S4; 15.1X53 versions prior to 15.1X53-D593; 16.1 versions prior to 16.1R7-S4; 17.1 versions prior to 17.1R2-S11, 17.1R3-S1; 17.2 versions prior to 17.2R3-S3; 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R2-S5, 17.3R3-S6; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S9, 17.4R3; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S8; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R2; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R1-S7, 18.3R2. This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS 12.3.
CVE-2021-0242
A vulnerability due to the improper handling of direct memory access (DMA) buffers on EX4300 switches on Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an attacker sending specific unicast frames to trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) condition by exhausting DMA buffers, causing the FPC to crash and the device to restart. The DMA buffer leak is seen when receiving these specific, valid unicast frames on an interface without Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling (L2PT) or dot1x configured. Interfaces with either L2PT or dot1x configured are not vulnerable to this issue. When this issue occurs, DMA buffer usage keeps increasing and the following error log messages may be observed: Apr 14 14:29:34.360 /kernel: pid 64476 (pfex_junos), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Apr 14 14:29:33.790 init: pfe-manager (PID 64476) terminated by signal number 11.

CVE-2022-22191
A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the processing of a flood of specific ARP traffic in Juniper Networks Junos OS on the EX4300 switch, sent from the local broadcast domain, may allow an unauthenticated network-adjacent attacker to trigger a PFEMAN watchdog timeout, causing the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) to crash and restart. After the restart, transit traffic will be temporarily interrupted until the PFE is reprogrammed. In a virtual chassis (VC), the impacted Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) may split from the VC temporarily, and join back into the VC once the PFE restarts. Continued receipt and processing of these packets will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on the EX4300: All versions prior to 15.1R7-S12; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R2-S10, 18.4R3-S11; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R3-S8; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S9, 19.2R3-S4; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R3-S5; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R2-S6, 19.4R3-S7; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R3-S3; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R3-S3; 20.3 versions prior to 20.3R3-S2; 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R3-S1; 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3; 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R2-S1, 21.2R3; 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R1-S2, 21.3R2.
