CVE-2026-57029

A Missing Synchronization vulnerability in the flow collector handler of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on QFX Series allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).


When the reachability of an sFlow collector changes, the corresponding next-hop entry is updated. If this update occurs simultaneously with the sFlow thread accessing the next-hop data (which is outside the attackers control), it causes the evo-pfemand process to crash, impacting all traffic forwarding until the automatic process restart has completed.




This issue affects Junos OS Evolved on QFX Series:


  *  all 23.2 versions, 
  *  23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7-EVO,
  *  24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5-EVO,
  *  24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S3-EVO,
  *  25.2 versions before 25.2R2-EVO.
