CVE-2026-102066: Juniper Junos OS RSVP packet validation denial of service

CVE-2026-102066 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-14

Juniper Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved, which manage networking and routing for enterprise infrastructure, contain a flaw in their RSVP (Resource Reservation Protocol) handler. An attacker on the same network segment can send a malformed RSVP packet to crash the routing daemon, causing network outages on affected devices that have RSVP enabled.

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

Technical details

The routing protocol daemon (rpd) in Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved improperly validates the quantity of input in RSVP packets, allowing an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to trigger a denial of service. The vulnerability is triggered by sending a specially crafted RSVP packet to an interface with RSVP enabled, causing the routing daemon to crash.
