CVE-2023-28984
Last modified
CVE-2023-28984 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. A Use After Free vulnerability in the Layer 2 Address Learning Manager (l2alm) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on QFX Series allows an adjacent attacker to cause the Packet Forwarding Engine to crash and restart, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). The PFE may crash when a lot of MAC learning and aging happens, but due to a Race Condition (Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization) that is outside the attackers direct control. EPSS estimates a 0.21% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
