Summary

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a memory leak in the Anti-Virus processing of Junos OS on SRX Series devices. When specific HTTP response content is sent by a server, it causes packets to become trapped in Juniper Buffers, which are never released. This accumulation can lead to exhaustion of the jbuf resources, resulting in a denial of service as the device halts all traffic forwarding. The issue requires a manual reboot to recover from the memory leak, as indicated by warning logs about jbuf pool utilization.

Affected Version(s)

Junos OS SRX Series 0 < 21.2R3-S9

Junos OS SRX Series 21.4 < 21.4R3-S10

Junos OS SRX Series 22.2 < 22.2R3-S6
