The version of Junos OS installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSA73172 advisory.

  • An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows a unauthenticated network-based attacker to cause an infinite loop, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). (CVE-2023-36841)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
