CVE-2026-102025 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-14

Junos OS is the operating system running Juniper routing equipment that directs network traffic across corporate networks. An authenticated attacker on the network can send specially crafted BGP route updates that cause the routing process to crash, disrupting network traffic until the system recovers.

Technologies: Juniper Networks Junos OS, Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved. Vendors: Juniper Networks.

Technical details

A mismatched memory management routine vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) allows an authenticated network-based attacker to trigger a denial of service by sending a malformed BGP route update when extended next-hop tunneling and SRv6 service processing are both enabled. The vulnerability results in a crash of the rpd process. An attacker must be authenticated on the BGP session and have network reachability to send the malicious update.
