It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-36849 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Juniper Junos. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36849/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36849/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-36849","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36849/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-36849","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-px74-prrr-j3jp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Juniper Junos OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can cause a sustained Denial of Service by sending malformed LLDP packets that crash the l2cpd daemon.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"juniper","cpe":[{"product":"junos","vendor":"juniper"},{"product":"junos_os_evolved","vendor":"juniper"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-703","name":"Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions"}],"description":"An Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Layer-2 control protocols daemon (l2cpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS).\n\nWhen a malformed LLDP packet is received, l2cpd will crash and restart. The impact of the l2cpd crash is reinitialization of STP protocols (RSTP, MSTP or VSTP), and MVRP and ERP. Also, if any services depend on LLDP state (like PoE or VoIP device recognition), then these will also be affected. Continued receipt of such packets will lead to a sustained Denial of Service.\n\nThis issue affects:\nJuniper Networks Junos OS\n21.4 versions prior to 21.4R3-S3;\n22.1 versions prior to 22.1R3-S3;\n22.2 versions prior to 22.2R2-S1, 22.2R3;\n22.3 versions prior to 22.3R2.\n\nJuniper Networks Junos OS Evolved\n21.4-EVO versions prior to 21.4R3-S2-EVO;\n22.1-EVO versions prior to 22.1R3-S3-EVO;\n22.2-EVO versions prior to 22.2R2-S1-EVO, 22.2R3-EVO;\n22.3-EVO versions prior to 22.3R2-EVO.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: The l2cpd will crash when a malformed LLDP packet is received","id":"CVE-2023-36849","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"juniper:junos","products":["juniper:junos","juniper:junos_os_evolved"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Junos OS: MX Series: An MPC will crash upon receipt of a malformed CFM packet.","id":"CVE-2023-36850"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Junos OS: MX Series: The FPC will crash on receiving a malformed CFM packet","id":"CVE-2023-36848"},"products":["Junos OS","Junos OS Evolved"],"published":"2023-07-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS EX Series and SRX Series PHP External Variable Modification","id":"CVE-2023-36845","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-08-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2020-1631","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2020-05-04"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization","id":"CVE-2025-21590","kev_date_added":"2025-03-13","published":"2025-03-12"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS SRX Series Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2023-36851","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-09-26"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS EX Series PHP External Variable Modification","id":"CVE-2023-36844","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-08-17"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS SRX Series Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2023-36846","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-08-17"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS EX Series Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2023-36847","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-08-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-22","vendors":["Juniper Networks"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated adjacent attacker can cause a sustained Denial of Service by sending malformed LLDP packets that crash the l2cpd daemon.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-36849/"}
