Certain PIM packets subject to NAT may cause the Flow Daemon to crash which can cause a DoS condition. A remote attacker can crash the Flow Daemon and by doing this repeatedly causing a denial of service condition. Junos OS 10.4, 11.4, 12.1 and 12.1X44 are affected. New builds of Junos OS software are available from Juniper
