    Hi all, pretty new to Junos and was wondering if there is a online tool available to verify if certain levels of software might be vulnerable to vulnerabilites that have been released?

     

    For one example, I'm trying to verify if 11.4R2.14 is affected by

    And if it is affected, mitigation is by having authentication or filters applied. MD5 is mentioned, but wouldn't simple authentication also be a valid workaround?

    Other than subscribing for updates I am not sure about any such tool. It may exist. 

    "And if it is affected, mitigation is by having authentication or filters applied. MD5 is mentioned, but wouldn't simple authentication also be a valid workaround?"

    Yes,simple authentication would work. Only issue there is that a packet sniffer would reveal the password in plain text. But it will work.
