CVE-2017-10611: If extended statistics are enabled via 'set chassis extended-statistics', when executing any operation that fetches interface statistics, including but not limited to SNMP GET requests, the pfem process or the FPC may crash and restart. Repeated crashes of PFE processing can result in an extended denial of service condition. This issue only affects the following platforms: (1) EX2200, EX3300, XRE200 (2) MX Series routers with MPC7E/8E/9E PFEs installed, and only if 'extended-statistics' are enabled under the [edit chassis] configuration. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS 14.1 prior to 14.1R8-S5, 14.1R9 on MX Series; 14.1X53 prior to 14.1X53-D46, 14.1X53-D50 on EX2200, EX3300, XRE200; 14.2 prior to 14.2R7-S9, 14.2R8 on MX Series; 15.1 prior to 15.1F5-S8, 15.1F6-S8, 15.1R5-S3, 15.1R6 on MX Series; 16.1 prior to 16.1R4-S5, 16.1R5, 16.1R6 on MX Series; 16.1X65 prior to 16.1X65-D45 on EX2200, EX3300, XRE200; 16.2 prior to 16.2R2-S1, 16.2R3 on MX Series; 17.1 prior to 17.1R2-S2, 17.1R3 on MX Series; 17.2 prior to 17.2R1-S3, 17.2R2 on MX Series; 17.2X75 prior to 17.2X75-D50 on MX Series; 17.3 prior to 17.3R1-S1, 17.3R2 on MX Series. No other Juniper Networks products or platforms are affected by this issue.
The exploitability of CVE-2017-10611 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).
CVE-2017-10611 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.
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-2017-10611, 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-2017-10611, 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: 0.118% (probability of exploit)
EPSS Percentile: 47.52%
(lower percentile = lower relative risk)
This vulnerability is less risky than approximately 52.48% of others.
