Traffic loss may be seen if sending traffic via the 40G interface
On QFX5100/QFX5110/QFX3500/QFX3600 platform, traffic loss may be seen if sending traffic via the 40G interface which is connected with peers through DWDM and the CRC errors of the interface may also keep on increasing after flapping the interface on QFX side.
Interface down due to "PFE Marked Disabled" on PECHIP causing traffic loss
Consider Ingress FPC to be up, fully Init and stable and follow below flow: We restart the egress FPC. It will come up and do its Block driver Init and program the PFE states. During fpc and ASIC initialization Init all global ASIC tables and during initialization we bring up paths for special path IFD's like RHI. After this FPC will send to RE (chasisd) FPC ONLINE message. As soon as this message is sent chaassid it will send IFD ATTACH to all cards. This will start the traffic in case of AE on Ingress card (The root problem). As soon as Ingress FPC start traffic a request will be generated that will traverse fabric path and reach FI which is the first block on egress. Since IFD Init is not complete on egress card this request will lookup in a queue mapping table, at this moment this table will point to an uninitialized value causing the traffic drops. This bug affects the multi slot PTX routers, single slot system like PTX1000 is not affected with this bug.
JSA10896 [juniper.net] 2018-10 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: Denial of service in telnetd (CVE-2018-0061)
A denial of service vulnerability in the telnetd service on Junos OS allows remote unauthenticated users to cause high CPU usage which may affect system performance.
PTX-Series: Invalid programming of interfaces during PFE initialization may lead to traffic null route. TSB17535 [juniper.net]
While a PTX-platform performs Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) initialization, the PFE may not initialize interfaces data structure properly. This causes transit traffic drop while traffic egressing out of those interfaces. The problem is applicable only to PTX1000 ,PTX3000,PTX5000 and PTX10000.
The FPC might crash due to the IFL index corruption when IPv6 traffic goes through the IRB interface
In IPv6 scenario, if the IPv6 traffic is coming in an IRB interface and triggering ICMPv6 error packet with the error type of 'MTU exceeded' or 'redirect', and the ICMPv6 error packet is sent out a different IRB interface than the incoming IRB interface, the index of the IRB logical interface (IFL) might be corrupted. The subsequent configuration change (e.g. deactivating/activating, deleting or changing interface configuration) might cause the crash of the FPC hosting the corrupted IFL index. The traffic null route also might be seen on the affected FPC.
Nexthop programming issue during link flapping on PTX
In ECMP (Equal-Cost Multipath) scenario on PTX series platforms, the unilist nexthop might be incorrectly programmed on PFE (Packet Forwarding Engine) when a member link flaps, resulting in traffic blackhole.
The "dead" next-hop may be seen in BGP-LU scenario.
In BGP Labeled Unicast (BGP-LU) scenario, if the device works as penultimate hop and receives BGP-LU routes with indirect next-hop from an egress router, after the operational next-hop interface corresponding to those labeled routes flaps, a "dead" next-hop type (discard action is performed for this type) may be set for the related clone routes (s=0) and still there even the next-hop interface is operational again.

Member of IPv4 unilist next-hops might be stuck in "Replaced" state after interface flaps
On PTX platform with FPC3 or PTX1000, if the unilist next-hop is not deleted for some reasons and then it is reused, the member of unilist next-hop might be stuck in "Replaced" state on Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) after interface flaps with down time longer than Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) aged out. While the issue occurs, the output of "show route forwarding-table" looks normal but traffic might be dropped since the forwarding next-hop on PFE is in "Replaced" status and no longer active.
Link flapping or staying down due to interoperation issue between MX/EX9200 and transport device
On MX204, MX10003, or MPC7E/8E/9E, or EX9200-40XS/EX9200-12QS, a 100G, 40G, or 10G interface might keep flapping or stay down due to an interoperation issue between Juniper device and the remote transport device connected.

DoS vulnerability in BGP in Junos OS configured as a VPLS PE allows an attacker to craft a specific BGP message to cause the routing protocol daemon (rpd) process to crash and restart. While rpd restarts after a crash, repeated crashes can result in an extended DoS condition. See https://kb.juniper.net/JSA10912 [juniper.net] for details.
Commit error observed if box is downgraded from from 18.2/18.3 release to 17.3R3
Commit error observed if box is downgraded from from 18.2/18.3 release to 17.3R3 On loading the new image, certain stale symlinks from previous image contents need to be removed which impact mgd. In this case, the .slax script symlinks from /var/db/sripts/translation are not getting removed, which causes issues in the initial commit by mgd The issue is only seen when the previous image was having translation scripts (as part of Junos image) and the new image isn't have these translation scripts

Packets might be dropped on data plane in the inline Jflow scenario
On MX series with MPC, in the inline Jflow scenario, due to a software defect, the data structure associated with inline Jflow feature may not be initialized correctly. This leads to not being able to forward traffic correctly on the affected MPC.

Configured bandwidth 0 does not get applied on RSVP interface
When RSVP interface is configured with bandwidth 0, the bandwidth value 0 does not get applied, but overwritten with the default interface bandwidth. It might lead to unexpected behavior of LSP setup.
BFD flaps are seen on PTX or QFX10K platforms with inline BFD
With inline-BFD configured on the PTX or QFX10000 platforms, BFD sessions might flap continuously.
RTG MAC refresh packets will be sent out from non-RTG ports if the RTG interface belonging to the Virtual Chassis primary flaps.
On EX4300/EX4600/QFX Series switches except for QFX10000, in Virtual-Chassis and RTG scenario, if the RTG (redundant trunk group) interface flaps on VC primary , RTG MAC refresh packets will be sent out from all the ports which is belong to the same VLAN. Normally, the MAC refresh packets are used to refresh MAC entries on the peer L2 device connected to the RTG ports.
Forwarding issue on mixed link-speed AE interface after FPC reloads
On PTX series, in mixed link-speed AE interface scenario, if the FPC which hosts one of the member links of the AE reloads and after the FPC comes back, the member link of the AE on the FPC recovers to be up and joins the AE bundle, but the member link is not able to forward traffic, which results in uneven load-balance or null-route of the AE interface traffic.
