Summary

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the kmd component of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an unauthenticated network attacker to execute code as root via specific IKE certificate-based packets. The issue requires IKE to be enabled with an RSA-signature IKE policy.

Risk Assessment

A network attacker can gain full root-level control of the device, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This only requires IKE with an RSA policy enabled, a common configuration in VPN environments.

Recommendation

Upgrade Junos OS on MX Series to a fixed release (21.2R3-S11, 21.4R3-S12, 22.2R3-S8, 22.3R3-S5, 22.4R3-S9 or later). If upgrading is not possible, consider disabling IKE with RSA policy or restricting access to the IKE service.
