"The version of Junos OS installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSA75758
advisory.
- An Incomplete Cleanup vulnerability in Nonstop active routing (NSR) component of Juniper Networks Junos OS
allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause memory leak leading to Denial of Service (DoS). On
all Junos OS platforms, when NSR is enabled, a BGP flap will cause memory leak. A manual reboot of the
system will restore the services. Note: NSR is not supported on the SRX Series and is therefore not
affected by this vulnerability. The memory usage can be monitored using the below commands. user@host>
show chassis routing-engine no-forwarding user@host> show system memory | no-more This issue affects:
Juniper Networks Junos OS * 21.2 versions earlier than 21.2R3-S5; * 21.3 versions earlier than 21.3R3-S4;
* 21.4 versions earlier than 21.4R3-S4; * 22.1 versions earlier than 22.1R3-S2; * 22.2 versions earlier

22.4R2. This issue does not affect Junos OS versions earlier than 20.4R3-S7. (CVE-2024-21617)
