Technical details
A stack-based buffer overflow in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) is triggered when processing protocol-valid EVPN-VPWS route advertisements from a configured BGP/EVPN peer. The vulnerability requires network-level access from a legitimate peer but no authentication bypass, and allows remote code execution as root on Junos OS or crash of the rpd process on Junos OS Evolved. The advisory indicates this is a memory corruption issue in the EVPN-VPWS service handling path.
