CVE-2026-21909
A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated attacker controlling an adjacent IS-IS neighbor to send a specific update packet causing a memory leak. Continued receipt and processing of these packets will exhaust all available memory, crashing rpd and creating a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Memory usage can be monitored through the use of the 'show task memory detail' command. For example:
user@junos> show task memory detail | match ted-infra TED-INFRA-COOKIE 25 1072 28 1184 229
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
user@junos>
show task memory detail | match ted-infra TED-INFRA-COOKIE 31 1360 34 1472 307
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
Junos OS Evolved:
This issue does not affect Junos OS versions before 23.2R1 or Junos OS Evolved versions before 23.2R1-EVO.
