CVE-2024-21607

An Unsupported Feature in the UI vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series and EX9200 Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause partial impact to the integrity of the device.

If the tcp-reset option is added to the reject action in an IPv6 filter which matches on payload-protocol, packets are permitted instead of rejected. This happens because the payload-protocol match criteria is not supported in the kernel filter causing it to accept all packets without taking any other action. As a fix the payload-protocol match will be treated the same as a next-header match to avoid this filter bypass.

This issue doesnt affect IPv4 firewall filters.
