CVE-2026-57021

6.9 medium SSVC exploitation: none Analyzed

An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the http-gatekeeper (http-gk) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS). If an SRX Series device is configured for remote-access VPN with pre-logon compliance check, a network-based attacker sending specifically formatted requests can trigger an out of bounds write leading to an http-gk process crash. This crash leads to unavailability of all services depending on the [ system services web-management ] configuration (like J-Web, remote access VPN and firewall authentication) until the process automatically restarts. This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series: * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S7, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S4, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4, * 25.2 versions before 25.2R2, * 25.4 versions before 25.4R1-S1, 25.4R2.

STIG rules that mitigate this class

With Gatekeeper enforced, an unsigned or unnotarised app does not run, which is the step most Gatekeeper bypasses need. Apple Platform Security, "Gatekeeper and runtime protection in macOS" (the owner's mapping, data/mitigations.yaml: gatekeeper)

  • APPL-15-002064 CAT I The macOS system must enable gatekeeper. Apple macOS 15 (Sequoia)
  • APPL-26-002064 CAT I The macOS system must enable gatekeeper. Apple macOS 26 (Tahoe)
