CVE-2026-101993: An eBGP peer causes an rpd crash when VPLS automatic site-ID collision resolution is used
A Reachable Assertion vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent eBGP peer to cause a denial of service via a VPLS signaling update when automatic site-ID negotiation is enabled.

In short
A reachable assertion flaw in the routing protocol daemon allows an adjacent eBGP peer to trigger a denial of service. By sending a specific VPLS signaling update while automatic site-ID negotiation is enabled, an attacker can crash the service. This attack requires no authentication or user interaction and can be executed from an adjacent network.
