TITLE

Juniper SRX Runs on series devices Junos OS Vulnerability gained in

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2016-004368

DESCRIPTION

Juniper Junos OS before 12.1X46-D50 on SRX Series devices reverts to "safe mode" authentication and allows root CLI logins without a password after a failed upgrade to 12.1X46, which might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging use of the "request system software" command with the "partition" option. Juniper Junos is prone to a local authentication-bypass vulnerability. A local attacker can exploit this issue to bypass the authentication mechanism and perform unauthorized actions. This may lead to further attacks. Juniper Junos versions 12.1X46 prior to 12.1X46-D50 are vulnerable. Juniper Junos OS on SRX Series devices is a network operating system developed by Juniper Networks (Juniper Networks) running on SRX series service gateway devices. The operating system provides a secure programming interface and Junos SDK. A security vulnerability exists in Juniper Junos OS prior to 12.1X46-D50 on SRX Series devices
