or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to bypass the configured firewall filter and access the control-plane of the device.\n\nOn MX platforms with \n\nMPC10, MPC11, LC4800 or LC9600\n\nline cards, and MX304, firewall filters applied on a loopback interface lo0.n (where n is a non-0 number) don't get executed when lo0.n is in the global VRF / default routing-instance.\n\n An affected configuration would be:\n\nuser@host# show configuration interfaces lo0 | display set\nset interfaces lo0 unit 1 family inet filter input <filter-name>\n\nwhere a firewall filter is applied to a non-0 loopback interface, but that loopback interface is not referred to in any routing-instance (RI) configuration, which implies that it's used in the default RI.\n\nThe issue can be observed with the CLI command:\n\nuser@device> show firewall counter filter <filter_name>
