{"id":"CVE-2023-44192","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Junos OS: QFX5000 Series: DMA memory leak is observed when specific DHCP packets are transmitted over pseudo-VTEP","description":"\nAn Improper Input Validation vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause memory leak, leading to Denial of Service (DoS).\n\nOn all Junos OS QFX5000 Series platforms, when pseudo-VTEP (Virtual Tunnel End Point) is configured under EVPN-VXLAN scenario, and specific DHCP packets are transmitted, DMA memory leak is observed. Continuous receipt of these specific DHCP packets will cause memory leak to reach 99% and then cause the protocols to stop working and traffic is impacted, leading to Denial of Service (DoS) condition. A manual reboot of the system recovers from the memory leak.\n\nTo confirm the memory leak, monitor for \"sheaf:possible leak\" and \"vtep not found\" messages in the logs.\n\nThis issue affects:\n\nJuniper Networks Junos OS QFX5000 Series:\n\n\n\n  *  All versions prior to 20.4R3-S6;\n  *  21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3-S5;\n  *  21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S5;\n  *  21.3 versions prior to 21.3R3-S4;\n  *  21.4 versions prior to 21.4R3-S3;\n  *  22.1 versions prior to 22.1R3-S2;\n  *  22.2 versions prior to 22.2R2-S2, 22.2R3;\n  *  22.3 versions prior to 22.3R2-S1, 22.3R3;\n  *  22.4 versions prior to 22.4R1-S2, 22.4R2.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","publishedAt":"2023-10-12T23:03:45.324Z","updatedAt":"2024-09-18T14:21:02.483Z","severity":{"score":7.5,"label":"High","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","source":"juniper"},"assigner":"juniper","products":["Juniper Networks Junos OS"],"affected":[{"vendor":"Juniper Networks","product":"Junos OS","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThan":"20.4R3-S6","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"21.1","status":"affected","lessThan":"21.1R3-S5","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"21.2","status":"affected","lessThan":"21.2R3-S5","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"21.3","status":"affected","lessThan":"21.3R3-S4","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"21.4","status":"affected","lessThan":"21.4R3-S3","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"22.1","status":"affected","lessThan":"22.1R3-S2","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"22.2","status":"affected","lessThan":"22.2R2-S2, 22.2R3","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"22.3","status":"affected","lessThan":"22.3R2-S1, 22.3R3","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"22.4","status":"affected","lessThan":"22.4R1-S2, 22.4R2","versionType":"semver"}],"platforms":["QFX5000 Series"]}],"references":["https://supportportal.juniper.net/JSA73156"],"weaknesses":["CWE-20"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:06:17.512Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2023/44xxx/CVE-2023-44192.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.1","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2023-44192","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2023-10-12T23:03:45.324Z","dateUpdated":"2024-09-18T14:21:02.483Z","assignerShortName":"juniper","assignerOrgId":"8cbe9d5a-a066-4c94-8978-4b15efeae968","dateReserved":"2023-09-26T19:30:27.954Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Junos OS: QFX5000 Series: DMA memory leak is observed when specific DHCP packets are transmitted over pseudo-VTEP","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"\nAn Improper Input Validation vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause memory leak, leading to Denial of Service (DoS).\n\nOn all Junos OS QFX5000 Series platforms, when pseudo-VTEP (Virtual Tunnel End Point) is configured under EVPN-VXLAN scenario, and specific DHCP packets are transmitted, DMA memory leak is observed.
