The vulnerability resides in the flow daemon (flowd) and is triggered by sending a specific, malformed ICMPv6 packet to the device during NAT64 translation. This causes the srxpfe process to crash and restart. The continuous receipt and processing of these malformed packets will repeatedly crash the srxpfe process, resulting in a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is specific to ICMPv6 traffic and does not affect IPv4 or other IPv6 traffic types. Affected versions include versions before 21.2R3-S10, all versions of 21.3, versions 21.4 before 21.4R3-S12, all versions of 22.1, versions 22.2 before 22.2R3-S8, all versions of 22.4, versions 22.4 before 22.4R3-S9, versions 23.2 before 23.2R2-S6, versions 23.4 before 23.4R2-S7, versions 24.2 before 24.2R2-S3, versions 24.4 before 24.4R2-S3, and versions 25.2 before 25.2R1-S2, 25.2R2.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker identifies a vulnerable Juniper SRX Series device running Junos OS with NAT64 enabled.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a specific, malformed ICMPv6 packet.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker sends the malformed ICMPv6 packet to the SRX device.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe SRX device receives the ICMPv6 packet and attempts NAT64 translation.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to the malformed packet, the flowd process encounters an improper check condition.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe srxpfe process crashes as a result of the malformed ICMPv6 packet.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe srxpfe process restarts automatically.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker continuously sends malformed ICMPv6 packets to repeatedly crash the srxpfe process, sustaining a Denial-of-Service condition.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of this vulnerability leads to a Denial-of-Service condition on the affected Juniper SRX Series device.
