Solution
The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific issue: Junos OS: 23.2R2-S7, 23.4R2-S8, 24.2R2-S4, 24.4R2-S3, 25.2R2, 25.4R1, and all subsequent releases.
Workaround
To reduce the risk of exploitation, configure BFD with an increased holddown-timer, so that the queued events can be processed before a new up event occurs: [ ... bfd-liveness-detection holddown-interval milliseconds <value> ]

| Description | An Unchecked Input for Loop Condition vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).Micro-BFD session flaps generate respective up/down events which are queued by PFEMAN for processing. Especially in a Virtual-Chassis (VC) scenario with locality‑bias configured, processing takes a significant amount of time for each event. If these sessions keep flapping, new events are constantly added, and in turn PFEMAN never completes processing these events. This results in the PFEMAN watchdog timer expiring, which causes the FPC to crash and restart, representing a complete service outage. This issue only affects MX series FPCs up to and including MPC9. It does not affect MPC10/11, LC4800/9600 and MX304.
