On SRX Series devices configured with UTM services a buffer overflow vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS may allow an attacker to arbitrarily execute code or commands on the target to take over or otherwise impact the device by sending crafted packets to or through the device. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series: 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D190; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S9; 17.4R3 and later versions prior to 18.1R3-S9; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S1; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R2-S3, 18.3R3; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R2-S3, 18.4R3; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R1-S4, 19.1R2; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S1, 19.2R2. An indicator of compromise can be the following text in the UTM log: RT_UTM: AV_FILE_NOT_SCANNED_PASSED_MT:

otherRT_UTM: AV_FILE_NOT_SCANNED_PASSED_MT:
  • Monitor UTM logs on Juniper SRX Series devices for the IoC log string 'RT_UTM: AV_FILE_NOT_SCANNED_PASSED_MT:' which indicates exploitation of the PFE buffer overflow via crafted packets traversing UTM services.
  • The vulnerability is triggered by sending crafted packets to or through an SRX Series device configured with UTM services; inspect ingress/egress traffic for anomalous or malformed packets targeting UTM-enabled interfaces.
  • ·Vulnerability only affects SRX Series devices that have UTM (Unified Threat Management) services configured; devices without UTM enabled are not affected.
  • ·Affected Junos OS versions on SRX Series: 15.1X49 prior to 15.1X49-D190; 17.4 prior to 17.4R2-S9; 17.4R3 and later prior to 18.1R3-S9; 18.2 prior to 18.2R3-S1; 18.3 prior to 18.3R2-S3/18.3R3; 18.4 prior to 18.4R2-S3/18.4R3; 19.1 prior to 19.1R1-S4/19.1R2; 19.2 prior to 19.2R1-S1/19.2R2.
