An Unsupported Feature in the UI vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series and EX9200 Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause partial impact to the integrity of the device. If the "tcp-reset" option is added to the "reject" action in an IPv6 filter which matches on "payload-protocol", packets are permitted instead of rejected. This happens because the payload-protocol match criteria is not supported in the kernel filter causing it to accept all packets without taking any other action. As a fix the payload-protocol match will be treated the same as a "next-header" match to avoid this filter bypass. This issue doesn't affect IPv4 firewall filters. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series and EX9200 Series: * All versions earl
The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific issue: Junos OS 20.4R3-S7, 21.1R3-S5, 21.2R3-S5, 21.3R3-S4, 21.4R3-S4, 22.1R3-S2, 22.2R3-S2, 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3, 22.4R1-S2, 22.4R2-S2, 22.4R3, 23.2R1, and all subsequent releases.
A workarounds is to replace the payload-protocol match with a next-header match like in the following example: [ firewall family inet6 filter <filter name> term <term name> match next-header] [ firewall family inet6 filter <filter name> term <term name> then reject tcp-reset ]
