CVE-2026-21920

Estado: AnalizadaAlta (8.7)—

An Unchecked Return Value vulnerability in the DNS module of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

If an SRX Series device configured for DNS processing, receives a specifically formatted DNS request flowd will crash and restart, which causes a service interruption until the process has recovered.

This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series:

This issue does not affect Junos OS versions before 23.4R1.
