CVE-2025-52982
📋 TL;DR
An unauthenticated network attacker can cause a denial-of-service by sending a specific sequence of SIP calls to Juniper MX Series devices with MS-MPC cards running vulnerable Junos OS versions. This causes the MS-MPC to crash and restart, disrupting SIP traffic processing. Only MX Series with MS-MPC cards in specific configurations with multiple service sets processing SIP calls are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- Juniper Networks MX Series with MS-MPC

Learn more about Junos →⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete disruption of SIP services on affected MX Series devices, requiring manual intervention and causing extended service outages for voice communications.
Likely Case
Intermittent MS-MPC crashes causing periodic SIP service disruptions until the vulnerable configuration is changed or patched.
If Mitigated
Limited impact with proper network segmentation and monitoring, allowing quick detection and recovery from crashes.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires network access and knowledge of specific SIP call sequences to trigger the resource release issue.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 21.2R3-S9, 22.2R3-S6, 22.4R3-S6 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://supportportal.juniper.net/JSA100088
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Check current Junos OS version. 2. Download appropriate patched version from Juniper support portal. 3. Schedule maintenance window. 4. Install update following Juniper upgrade procedures. 5. Reboot device to apply changes.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable SIP ALG on vulnerable service sets
allRemove SIP ALG configuration from service sets to prevent exploitation
delete services service-set <service-set-name> sip-alg
Reduce to single service set for SIP processing
allConfigure only one service set to handle SIP calls to avoid the vulnerable condition
set services service-set <primary-service-set> sip-alg
delete services service-set <other-service-set> sip-alg
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to restrict SIP traffic to trusted sources only
- Deploy intrusion detection systems to monitor for abnormal SIP call sequences
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check if device is MX Series with MS-MPC card, running affected Junos OS version, and configured with multiple service sets with SIP ALG enabled
Check Version:
show version
Verify Fix Applied:
Verify Junos OS version is patched (21.2R3-S9, 22.2R3-S6, 22.4R3-S6 or later) and check MS-MPC stability during SIP traffic
📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- MS-MPC crash messages in system logs
- SIP ALG error messages
- Service set restart events
Network Indicators:
- Abnormal SIP call sequences
- Sudden drop in SIP traffic
- MS-MPC restart events
SIEM Query:
source="junos" AND ("MS-MPC" AND (crash OR restart)) OR ("SIP" AND "ALG" AND error)
