Continued receipt and processing of this packet will create a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue can only be triggered by sending a specific malformed packet to the device. Transit traffic does not trigger this issue. An indication of this issue occurring can be seen through the following log messages: fpc0 expr_hostbound_packet_handler: Receive pe 73? fpc0 Cmerror Op Set: PE Chip: PE0[0]: PGQ:misc_intr: 0x00000020: Enqueue of a packet with out-of-range VOQ in 192K-VOQ mode (URI: /fpc/0/pfe/0/cm/0/PE_Chip/0/PECHIP_CMERROR_PGQ_MISC_INT_EVENTS_ENQ_192K_VIOL) The logs list below can also be observed when this issue occurs fpc0 Error: /fpc/0/pfe/0/cm/0/PE_Chip/0/PECHIP_CMERROR_PGQ_MISC_INT_EVENTS_ENQ_192K_VIOL (0x210107), scope: pfe, category: functional, severity: major, module: PE Chip, type: Description for PECHIP_CMERROR_PGQ_MISC_INT_EVENTS_ENQ_192K_VIOL fpc0 Performing action cmalarm for error /fpc/0/pfe/0/cm/0/PE_Chip/0/PECHIP_CMERROR_PGQ_MISC_INT_EVENTS_ENQ_192K_VIOL (0x210107) in module: PE Chip with scope: pfe category: functional level: major fpc0 Error: /fpc/0/pfe/0/cm/0/PE_Chip/0/PECHIP_CMERROR_CM_INT_REG_DCHK_PIPE (0x21011a), scope: pfe, category: functional, severity: fatal, module: PE Chip, type: Description for PECHIP_CMERROR_CM_INT_REG_DCHK_PIPE fpc0 Performing action cmalarm for error /fpc/0/pfe/0/cm/0/PE_Chip/0/PECHIP_CMERROR_CM_INT_REG_DCHK_PIPE (0x21011a) in module: PE Chip with scope: pfe category: functional level: fatal fpc0 Performing action disable-pfe for error /fpc/0/pfe/0/cm/0/PE_Chip/0/PECHIP_CMERROR_CM_INT_REG_DCHK_PIPE (0x21011a) in module: PE Chip with scope: pfe category: functional level: fatal This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on QFX10002: All versions prior to 19.1R3-S10; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R3-S11; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R3-S7; 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R3-S6; 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3-S4; 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S4; 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R3-S3; 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R3-S2; 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R3-S1; 22.2 versions prior to 22.2R2-S1, 22.2R3; 22.3 versions prior to 22.3R1-S2, 22.3R2.", "affected": [ { "vendor": "Juniper Networks", "product": "Junos OS", "platforms": [ "QFX10002" ], "versions": [ { "version": "unspecified", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "19.1R3-S10" }, { "version": "19.4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "19.4R3-S11" }, { "version": "20.2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "20.2R3-S7" }, { "version": "20.4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "20.4R3-S6" }, { "version": "21.1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "21.1R3-S4" }, { "version": "21.2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "21.2R3-S4" }, { "version": "21.3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "21.3R3-S3" }, { "version": "21.4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "21.4R3-S2" }, { "version": "22.1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "22.1R3-S1" }, { "version": "22.2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "22.2R2-S1, 22.2R3" }, { "version": "22.3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "custom", "lessThan": "22.3R1-S2, 22.3R2" } ] } ] } } }
