CVE-2014-6380: Juniper Junos 11.4 before R11, 12.1 before R9, 12.1X44 before D30, 12.1X45 before D20, 12.1X46 before D15, 12.1X47 before D10, 12.2 before R8, 12.2X50 before D70, 12.3 before R6, 13.1 before R4, 13.1X49 before D55, 13.1X50 before D30, 13.2 before R4, 13.2X50 before D20, 13.2X51 before D15, 13.2X52 before D15, 13.3 before R1, when using an em interface to connect to a certain internal network, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (em driver bock and FPC reset or "go offline") via a series of crafted (1) CLNP fragmented packets, when clns-routing or ESIS is configured, or (2) IPv4 or (3) IPv6 fragmented packets.
The exploitability of CVE-2014-6380 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
The vulnerability CVE-2014-6380 is highly exploitable since it requires low complexity and no authentication.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2014-6380, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2014-6380, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
The EPSS score estimates the probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the near future.
EPSS Score: 1.247% (probability of exploit)
EPSS Percentile: 85.69%
(lower percentile = lower relative risk)
This vulnerability is less risky than approximately 14.310000000000002% of others.
