CVE-2026-21919

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (7.1)—

An Incorrect Synchronization vulnerability in the management daemon (mgd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a network-based attacker with low privileges to cause a complete Denial-of-Service (DoS) of the management plane.

When NETCONF sessions are quickly established and disconnected, a locking issue causes mgd processes to hang in an unusable state. When the maximum number of mgd processes has been reached, no new logins are possible. This leads to the inability to manage the device and requires a power-cycle to recover.

This issue can be monitored by checking for mgd processes in lockf state in the output of 'show system processes extensive':

Leer descripción completaMostrar menos

user@host> show system processes extensive | match mgd <pid> root 20 0 501M 4640K lockf 1 0:01 0.00% mgd

If the system still can be accessed (either via the CLI or as root, which might still be possible as last resort as this won't invoke mgd), mgd processes in this state can be killed with 'request system process terminate <PID>' from the CLI or with 'kill -9 <PID>' from the shell.

This issue affects:

Junos OS:

Junos OS Evolved:
