A vulnerability has been discovered in Juniper JUNOS, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to a memory leak within the IPv6 Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) when processing certain IPv6 packets. This can be exploited by sending multiple specially crafted IPv6 packets to a vulnerable network device.

Successful exploitation consumes all available memory and causes a vulnerable network device to reboot.

The vulnerability affects all Juniper routers running JUNOS with a PFE released after February 24, 2004.
