Key facts

Description

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.
