On MX Series, when the SIP ALG is enabled, receipt of a certain malformed SIP packet may crash the MS-PIC component on MS-MIC or MS-MPC.
By continuously sending a crafted SIP packet, an attacker can repeatedly bring down MS-PIC on MS-MIC/MS-MPC causing a sustained Denial of Service.
This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series:
16.1 versions prior to 16.1R7-S5;
16.2 versions prior to 16.2R2-S11;
