Product Affected

This issue affects Junos OS. Affected platforms: SRX 5000 Series.
High
7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Problem

On SRX5000 Series devices, if ' set security zones security-zone < zone > tcp-rst ' is configured, the flowd process may crash when a specific TCP packet is received by the device and triggers a new session. The process restarts automatically. However, receipt of a constant stream of these TCP packets may result in an extended Denial of Service (DoS) condition on the device.

  • 18.2R3 on SRX 5000 Series;
  • 18.4R2 on SRX 5000 Series;
