Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-101979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Juniper Networks Junos OS. 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-2026-101979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-101979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-101979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-101979/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-101979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cgph-8w37-fcq2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Juniper network OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A network attacker with SNMP read access can trigger a stack buffer overflow in authd to execute root code or cause denial of service when SNMP and AAA are enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"juniper","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-121","name":"Stack-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"A Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in the authd Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a network attacker with SNMP read access to execute code with root privileges or cause a denial of service via a specific SNMP packet, when SNMP and AAA are enabled.","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":"Memory corruption in Junos OS","id":"CVE-2026-101979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Junos OS: Malformed Extended Echo requests cause a Routing Engine reboot when Extended Echo is enabled","id":"CVE-2026-101980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in Junos OS Evolved","id":"CVE-2026-101978"},"products":["Junos OS","Junos OS Evolved"],"published":"2026-10-14","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-15","vendors":["Juniper Networks"]},"summary":"A network attacker with SNMP read access can trigger a stack buffer overflow in authd to execute root code or cause denial of service when SNMP and AAA are enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-101979/"}
