CVE-2019-0038 — Juniper Junos security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 6.5

Crafted packets destined to the management interface (fxp0) of an SRX340 or SRX345 services gateway may create a denial of service (DoS) condition due to buffer space exhaustion. This issue only affects the SRX340 and SRX345 services gateways. No other products or platforms are affected by this vulnerability. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS: 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D160 on SRX340/SRX345; 17.3 on SRX340/SRX345; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S3, 17.4R3 on SRX340/SRX345; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S1 on SRX340/SRX345; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R2 on SRX340/SRX345; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R1-S2, 18.3R2 on SRX340/SRX345. This issue does not affect Junos OS releases prior to 15.1X49 on any platform.

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.
