Affected: Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved

An Incorrect Calculation vulnerability in the Layer 2 Control

Protocol

Daemon (l2cpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated network-adjacent attacker flapping the management interface to cause the learning of new MACs over label-switched interfaces (LSI) to stop while generating a flood of logs, resulting in high CPU usage.

When the issue is seen, the following log message will be generated:
