An Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the UTM (Unified Threat Management) Web-Filtering feature of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series causes a jbuf memory leak to occur when accessing certain websites, eventually leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. Service restoration is only possible by rebooting the system.

The jbuf memory leak only occurs in SSL Proxy and UTM Web-Filtering configurations. Other products, platforms, and configurations are not affected by this vulnerability.

This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series: 22.2 versions prior to 22.2R3; 22.3 versions prior to 22.3R2-S1, 22.3R3; 22.4 versions prior to 22.4R1-S2, 22.4R2.

This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS versions prior to 22.2R2.

Weakness

The product does not properly anticipate or handle exceptional conditions that rarely occur during normal operation of the product.
