- --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT--------------------
2017-07 Security Bulletin: SRX Series: Hardcoded credentials in Integrated
UserFW feature. (CVE-2017-2343)
PRODUCT AFFECTED:
This issue affects Junos OS 12.3X48, 15.1X49. Affected platforms: SRX series.
PROBLEM:
The Integrated User Firewall (UserFW) feature was introduced in Junos OS
version 12.1X47-D10 on the Juniper SRX Series devices to provide simple
integration of user profiles on top of the existing firewall polices.
As part of an internal security review of the UserFW services authentication
API, hardcoded credentials were identified and removed which can impact both
the SRX Series device, and potentially LDAP and Active Directory integrated
points.
These credentials may be passed in clear text, or passed in an encrypted
format. It may also be possible for a skilled attacker to illicitly decompile
the system software to gain access to these credentials and form additional
attacks.
Credentials may be taken from the network via man-in-the-middle attacks, or
other attack vectors, as above, or others not listed.
An attacker may be able to completely compromise both the SRX Series device
without authentication, other SRX Series devices deployed in the same
environment running vulnerable versions of Junos OS, as well as Active
Directory servers and service, including but not limited to, user accounts,
workstations, servers performing other functions such as email, database, etc.
which are also tied to the Active Directory deployment. Inter-Forest Active
Directory deployments may also be at risk as the attacker may gain full
administrative control over one or more Active Directories depending on the
credentials supplied by the administrator of the AD domains and SRX devices
performing integrated authentication of users, groups and devices.
To identify if your device is potentially vulnerable to exploitation, check to
see if the service is operating; from CLI review the following output:
root@SRX-Firewall# run show services user-identification
active-directory-access domain-controller status extensive
A result of "Status: Connected" will indicate that the service is active on
the device.
To evaluate if user authentication is occurring through the device:
root@SRX-Firewall# run show services user-identification
active-directory-access active-directory-authentication-table all
Next review the results to see if valid users and groups are returned. e.g.
Domain: juniperlab.com
Total entries: 3
Source IP Username groups state
172.16.26.1 administrator Valid
192.168.26.2 engg01 engineers Valid
192.168.26.3 guest01 guests Valid
Domain: NULL
Total entries: 8
Source IP Username groups state
192.168.26.4 Invalid
192.168.26.5 Invalid
This will also indicate that Valid users and groups are authenticating through
the device.
Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS 12.3X48 from 12.3X48-D30 and
prior to 12.3X48-D35 on SRX series; 15.1X49 from 15.1X49-D40 and prior to
15.1X49-D50 on SRX series.
Devices on any version of Junos OS 12.1X46, or 12.1X47 are unaffected by this
issue.
Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2017-2343.
SOLUTION:
The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific
issue: 12.3X48-D35, 15.1X49-D50, and all subsequent releases.
This issue is being tracked as PR 1171966 and is visible on the Customer
Support website.
WORKAROUND:
There is no workaround to completely mitigate the risk of this issue.
Customers may reduce the risk of exploitation of this issue by disabling the
UserFW service on devices running the service until such time that a fix can
be taken.
IMPLEMENTATION:
Security vulnerabilities in Junos are fixed in the next available Maintenance
Release of each supported Junos version. In some cases, a Maintenance Release
is not planned to be available in an appropriate time-frame. For these cases,
Service Releases are made available in order to be more timely. Security
Advisory and Security Notices will indicate which Maintenance and Service
Releases contain fixes for the issues described. Upon request to JTAC,
customers will be provided download instructions for a Service Release.
Although Juniper does not provide formal Release Note documentation for a
Service Release, a list of "PRs fixed" can be provided on request.

2017-07 Security Bulletin: MS-MPC or MS-MIC crash when passing large
fragmented traffic through an ALG (CVE-2017-2346)
PRODUCT AFFECTED:
This issue affects Junos OS 14.1X55, 14.2R, 15.1R, and 16.1R running on MX
Series.
PROBLEM:
An MS-MPC or MS-MIC Service PIC may crash when large fragmented packets are
passed through an Application Layer Gateway (ALG). Repeated crashes of the
Service PC can result in an extended denial of service condition. The issue
can be seen only if NAT or stateful-firewall rules are configured with ALGs
enabled.
This issue was caused by the code change for PR 1182910 in Junos OS
14.1X55-D30, 14.1X55-D35, 14.2R7, 15.1R5, and 16.1R2. No other versions of
Junos OS and no other Juniper Networks products or platforms are affected by
this issue.
Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX platforms running:
14.1X55 from 14.1X55-D30 to releases prior to 14.1X55-D35;
14.2R from 14.2R7 to releases prior to 14.2R7-S4, 14.2R8;
15.1R from 15.1R5 to releases prior to 15.1R5-S2, 15.1R6;
16.1R from 16.1R2 to releases prior to 16.1R3-S2, 16.1R4.
Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
This issue has been assigned CVE-2017-2346.
SOLUTION:
The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific
issue: 14.1X55-D35, 14.2R7-S4, 14.2R8, 15.1R5-S2, 15.1R6, 16.1R3-S2, 16.1R4,
and all subsequent releases.
This issue is being tracked as PR 1214134 and is visible on the Customer
Support website.
WORKAROUND:
No known workaround exists for this issue.
If NAT and stateful-firewall are not required, disabling them in the [edit
applications] stanza will mitigate this issue.
IMPLEMENTATION:
Security vulnerabilities in Junos are fixed in the next available Maintenance
Release of each supported Junos version. In some cases, a Maintenance Release
is not planned to be available in an appropriate time-frame. For these cases,
Service Releases are made available in order to be more timely. Security
Advisory and Security Notices will indicate which Maintenance and Service
Releases contain fixes for the issues described. Upon request to JTAC,
customers will be provided download instructions for a Service Release.
