Juniper Session Smart Router VRRP OOB Read
CVE-2026-103393 Published on October 28, 2026
Session Smart Router: An attacker can cause an out-of-bounds read during VRRP packet processing
An Out-of-Bounds Read vulnerability in the VRRP implementation in Juniper Networks Session Smart Router allows an L2-adjacent attacker to read stale memory contents or cause a system fault via a specially crafted VRRPv3 advertisement.
Vulnerability Analysis
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
