CVE-2026-102068
A Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in the kernel of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger a kernel panic via a crafted TCP packet when key-chain authentication is used for BGP or LDP.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.74%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
