An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the pfe (packet forwarding engine) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series causes a port within a pool to be blocked leading to Denial of Service (DoS). In a DS-Lite (Dual-Stack Lite) and NAT (Network Address Translation) scenario, when crafted IPv6 traffic is received and prefix-length is set to 56, the ports assigned to the user will not be freed. Eventually, users cannot establish new connections. Affected FPC/PIC need to be manually restarted to recover. Following is the command to identify the issue: user@host> show services nat source port-block Host_IP External_IP Port_Block Ports_Used/ Block_State/ Range Ports_Total Left_Time(s) 2001:: x.x.x.x 58880-59391 256/256*1 Active/- >>>>>>>>port still usedThis issue affects Junos OS on MX Series: * from 21.2 before 21.2R3-S8, * from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S7, * from 22.1 before 22.1R3-S6, * from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S4, * from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S3, * from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S2, * from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S1, * from 23.4 before 23.4R1-S2, 23.4R2. This issue does not affect versions before 20.2R1.
