"The version of Junos OS installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSA11230
advisory.
- An Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in the kernel of Juniper Networks JUNOS OS allows an
unauthenticated network based attacker to cause 100% CPU load and the device to become unresponsive by
sending a flood of traffic to the out-of-band management ethernet port. Continued receipted of a flood
will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. Once the flood subsides the system will recover
by itself. An indication that the system is affected by this issue would be that kernel and netisr process
are shown to be using a lot of CPU cycles like in the following example output: user@host> show system
processes extensive ... PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME WCPU COMMAND 16 root -72 - 0K 304K
WAIT 1 839:40 88.96% intr{swi1: netisr 0} 0 root 97 - 0K 160K RUN 1 732:43 87.99% kernel{bcm560xgmac0 que}
