CVE-2024-39557 Description
An Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in the
Layer 2 Address Learning Daemon (l2ald)
of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a memory leak, eventually exhausting all system memory, leading to a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS).
Certain MAC table updates cause a small amount of memory to leak. Once memory utilization reaches its limit, the issue will result in a system crash and restart.
To identify the issue, execute the CLI command:
user@device> show platform application-info allocations app l2ald-agent
