An Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker, sending a specific genuine BGP packet in an already established BGP session to reset only that session causing a Denial of Service (DoS). An attacker repeatedly sending the packet will sustain the Denial of Service (DoS).This issue affects Junos OS: * 25.2 versions before 25.2R2 This issue does not affect Junos OS versions before 25.2R1. This issue affects Junos OS Evolved: * 25.2-EVO versions before 25.2R2-EVO This issue does not affect Junos OS Evolved versions before 25.2R1-EVO. eBGP and iBGP are affected. IPv4 and IPv6 are affected.
