In Modem, there is a possible system crash due to a logic error. This could lead to remote denial of service, if a UE has connected to a rogue base station controlled by the attacker, with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: MOLY01673749; Issue ID: MSV-4643.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-11 18:32 – Updated: 2024-10-11 18:32
VLAI
Details
An Improper Validation of Specified Type of Input vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (pfe) Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX5000 Series allows an unauthenticated, network based attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Dos).
When a non-clustered SRX5000 device receives a specifically malformed packet this will cause a flowd crash and restart.
This issue affects Junos OS:
- 22.1 releases 22.1R1 and later before 22.2R3-S5,
- 22.3 releases before 22.3R3-S4,
- 22.4 releases before 22.4R3-S4,
- 23.2 releases before 23.2R2-S2,
- 23.4 releases before 23.4R2-S1,
- 24.2 releases before 24.2R1-S1, 24.2R2.
Please note that the PR does indicate that earlier versions have been fixed as well, but these won't be adversely impacted by this.

VLAI
Details
Net::IP::LPM versions before 1.12 for Perl accept malformed prefix lengths.
Non-numeric and non-ASCII prefix lengths are accepted and treated as 0. Integers over 31 bits are silently truncated. A single malformed mask will poison the lookup table.
The result is that the lookup will silently succeed for every address. An allow-list will allow every address, and a deny-list will block every address.

Details
A vulnerability in the Dynamic Access Policies (DAP) feature of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause an affected device to reload unexpectedly. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need valid remote access VPN user credentials on the affected device.
This vulnerability is due to improper validation of data in HTTPS POST requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTPS POST request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Mitigation MIT-5
Implementation
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
