CVE-2024-30388 — Juniper Junos security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.1

An Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on QFX5000 Series and EX Series allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). If a specific malformed LACP packet is received by a QFX5000 Series, or an EX4400, EX4100 or EX4650 Series device, an LACP flap will occur resulting in traffic loss. This issue affects Junos OS on QFX5000 Series, and on EX4400, EX4100 or EX4650 Series: * 20.4 versions from 20.4R3-S4 before 20.4R3-S8, * 21.2 versions from 21.2R3-S2 before 21.2R3-S6, * 21.4 versions from 21.4R2 before 21.4R3-S4, * 22.1 versions from 22.1R2 before 22.1R3-S3, * 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S1, * 22.3 versions before 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3, * 22.4 versions before 22.4R2-S1, 22.4R3.

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.
