An Improper Control of a Resource Through its Lifetime vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent eBGP peer to cause a routing-daemon crash via a BGP route update when RIB sharding is enabled.
Weakness
The product does not maintain or incorrectly maintains control over a resource throughout its lifetime of creation, use, and release.
Extended Description
Resources often have explicit instructions on how to be created, used and destroyed. When code does not follow these instructions, it can lead to unexpected behaviors and potentially exploitable states. Even without explicit instructions, various principles are expected to be adhered to, such as “Do not use an object until after its creation is complete,” or “do not use an object after it has been slated for destruction.”
