{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2022-22227","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on ACX7000 Series allows an unauthenticated network-based attacker to cause a partial Denial of Service (DoS). On receipt of specific IPv6 transit traffic, Junos OS Evolved on ACX7100-48L, ACX7100-32C and ACX7509 sends this traffic to the Routing Engine (RE) instead of forwarding it, leading to increased CPU utilization of the RE and a partial DoS. This issue only affects systems configured with IPv6. This issue does not affect ACX7024 which is supported from 22.3R1-EVO onwards where the fix has already been incorporated as indicated in the solution section. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on ACX7100-48L, ACX7100-32C, ACX7509: 21.1-EVO versions prior to 21.1R3-S2-EVO; 21.2-EVO versions prior to 21.2R3-S2-EVO; 21.3-EVO versions prior to 21.3R3-EVO; 21.4-EVO versions prior to 21.4R1-S1-EVO, 21.4R2-EVO. This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved versions prior to 21.1R1-EVO.","dates":{"published":"2022-10-18T02:46:28.960Z","modified":"2025-05-12T14:29:55.117Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","score":5.3,"severity":"medium","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"NVD","score":5.3,"severity":"medium","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false}]},"epss":{"probability":0.00668,"percentile":0.51321,"severity":"low","asOf":"2026-10-22T00:00:00.000Z","change":{"pp":0.07400000000000002,"baselineDate":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","baselineScore":0.00594},"history":[{"date":"2026-09-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00668,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00668,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00668,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00668,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00668,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00668,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00668,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00668,"percentile":0.51321}],"last30":[{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00594,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00615,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-
