FKIE_CVE-2026-21901
Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-07-09 21:16 - Updated: 2026-08-26 17:48
Severity
Summary
A NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the management daemon (mgd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local, high-privileged attacker setting or deactivating a specific SSH configuration parameter to create a Denial of Service (DoS).
A local high-privileged user configuring or deactivating a specific 'system services ssh' configuration parameter can exploit a null pointer dereference in one of the functions used by SSH. The function attempts to dereference a null pointer when accessing certain configuration data, resulting in an mgd process crash and restart. Continued execution of these configuration commands will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
* from 22.3 before 22.3R3-S5;
* from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S10;
* from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S7;
* from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S8.
This issue does not affect Junos OS before 22.3R1.
Junos OS Evolved:
* from 22.3R1-EVO before 23.2R2-S7-EVO;
* from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S8-EVO.
This issue does not affect Junos OS Evolved before 22.3R1-EVO.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
