"Juniper Networks Patches High-Severity Vulnerabilities in Junos OS"

Networking appliances maker Juniper Networks recently announced software updates that patch multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in Junos OS, Junos OS Evolved, and Junos Space.  The company published 17 advisories detailing roughly a dozen Junos OS-specific security defects and nearly three times as many issues in third-party components used in its products.  Three of the new advisories describe high-severity vulnerabilities in Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved that could lead to denial-of-service (DoS).  The flaws impact QFX10000, MX, and SRX series networking appliances.  Eight other advisories deal with medium-severity Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved flaws that could also be exploited to cause DoS conditions.  Juniper Networks also recently released software updates to patch all 11 vulnerabilities, noting that no workarounds are available for any of these issues.  The company also announced software updates for SRX series and MX series devices to resolve a high-severity issue in Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) that could allow an unauthenticated attacker on the network to cause a DoS condition.  The company is unaware of any of these vulnerabilities being exploited in attacks.
