CVE-2018-0032 — The receipt of a crafted BGP UPDATE can lead to a routing process daemon (RPD) crash and restart

High CVSS 7.5

The receipt of a crafted BGP UPDATE can lead to a routing process daemon (RPD) crash and restart. Repeated receipt of the same crafted BGP UPDATE can result in an extended denial of service condition for the device. This issue only affects the specific versions of Junos OS listed within this advisory. Earlier releases are unaffected by this vulnerability. This crafted BGP UPDATE does not propagate to other BGP peers. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS: 16.1X65 versions prior to 16.1X65-D47; 17.2X75 versions prior to 17.2X75-D91, 17.2X75-D110; 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R1-S4, 17.3R2; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R1-S3, 17.4R2.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
