Description
CVE-2026-101944 is an integer overflow or wraparound vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved. This flaw allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by sending specially crafted EVPN route updates from an accepted EVPN BGP peer. The vulnerability affects multiple versions of Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved prior to specific fixed releases. The CVSS 3.1 score is 7.5, indicating high severity due to the potential for denial of service without requiring privileges or user interaction.

Technical Analysis
This vulnerability involves an integer overflow or wraparound in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) component of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved. An attacker with the ability to send EVPN route updates from an accepted EVPN BGP peer can exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service condition. The issue affects a broad range of versions across multiple release trains, including both standard and evolved versions of Junos OS. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack can be performed remotely over the network with low complexity and no privileges or user interaction required, impacting availability only.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in denial of service (DoS) of the routing protocol daemon, potentially disrupting network routing and connectivity. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. The vulnerability can be triggered remotely by an attacker capable of sending EVPN route updates from an accepted EVPN BGP peer.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or patch links are provided in the available data. Users should monitor Juniper Networks advisories for updates and apply patches once available. Until then, restricting EVPN BGP peer access to trusted entities may reduce exposure.
