CVE-2024-39560 | Vulnerability Database

NVD	https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-39560
CWE	https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/755.html

An Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a logically adjacent downstream RSVP neighbor to cause kernel memory exhaustion, leading to a kernel crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

The kernel memory leak and eventual crash will be seen when the downstream RSVP neighbor has a persistent error which will not be corrected.

System kernel memory can be monitored through the use of the show system kernel memory command as shown below:

user@router> show system kernel memory Real memory total/reserved: 4130268/ 133344 Kbytes kmem map free: 18014398509110220 Kbytes
