How to Fix CVE-2020-1628

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2020-1628, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Juniper Networks Junos OS uses the 128.0.0.0/2 subnet for internal communications between the RE and PFEs. It was discovered that packets utilizing these IP addresses may egress an EX4300 switch, leaking configuration information such as heartbeats, kernel versions, etc. out to the Internet, leading to an information exposure vulnerability. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS: 14.1X53 versions prior to 14.1X53-D53 on EX4300; 15.1 versions prior to 15.1R7-S6 on EX4300; 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D200, 15.1X49-D210 on EX4300; 16.1 versions prior to 16.1R7-S7 on EX4300; 17.1 versions prior to 17.1R2-S11, 17.1R3-S2 on EX4300; 17.2 versions prior to 17.2R3-S3 on EX4300; 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R2-S5, 17.3R3-S7 on EX4300; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S9, 17.4R3 on EX4300; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S8 on EX4300; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S2 on EX4300; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R2-S3, 18.3R3, 18.3R3-S1 on EX4300; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R1-S5, 18.4R2-S3, 18.4R3 on EX4300; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R1-S4, 19.1R2 on EX4300; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S4, 19.2R2 on EX4300; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R1-S1, 19.3R2 on EX4300.
