Device Vulnerabilities

You can stay informed about the vulnerabilities impacting your onboarded Juniper Network devices through Juniper's security advisories and known issues report.

The Juniper Networks Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) advisories provide you information on the vulnerabilities and security risks impacting your device. The Proactive Bug Notifications (PBNs) notify you about known software issues impacting your device. These insights help you to effectively plan software upgrades, proactively mitigate identified concerns, maintain optimal device performance, and enhance your overall support experience.

You can view these insights from the SIRT and PBN tabs of the Router Details page.

SIRT Advisories

Juniper Networks Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) periodically issues advisories to inform you about security vulnerabilities and available fixes for Juniper Networks products and services. For more information, see KB16613.

To view security advisories published for a device in Juniper Routing Assurance, navigate to Organization > Inventory > Routers > Router: Router-Name. Click the SIRT tab to view information on the security vulnerabilities advisories published by the SIRT team for the device. The tab displays information on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) severity assessment score, OS versions impacted, solutions, and so on.

Remember:

The device must be in the cloud-connected state to view a list of security vulnerabilities specific to the type of Juniper Networks device and the Junos OS version installed.

The Security Incidence Response Team Tickets page for a device displays an insights bar with the total counts and percentages of critical, high, medium, and unassigned vulnerabilities for the device. You can filter the advisories relevant to the device based on the severity level. Click a severity level criterion on the bar to filter the advisories for that level. For example, if you click the Critical count or the Critical Vulnerabilities percentage criteria, the advisories are filtered to display only the critical advisories for the device.

From the Security Incidence Response Team Tickets page, select an entry to view the Device SIRT Quick View pane. The Device SIRT Quick View pane displays detailed information about the advisory.

For more information on the fields on the Security Incidence Response Team Tickets page and Device SIRT Quick View pane, see Table 1.

Proactive Bug Notifications (PBNs)

Juniper Networks notifies you about known software issues through Proactive Bug Notifications (PBNs), ensuring you are aware of issues that might impact or interrupt network performance.

To view known issues impacting a device in Juniper Routing Assurance, navigate to Organization > Inventory > Routers > Router: Router-Name. Click the PBN tab to view information on the known software issues impacting the device. The tab displays information on the potential impact and risk for the customer network, OS version in which the issue is fixed, an assessment and recommendation on the potential network impact, and so on.

Remember:

The device must be in the cloud-connected state to view the list of known software issues relevant to the type of Juniper Networks device and the Junos OS version installed.

The Proactive Bug Notifications page displays an insights bar with the total counts and percentages of critical, major, and minor known software issues for the device. You can filter Proactive Bug Notifications for a device based on the risk level. Click a risk level criterion on the banner to filter the Proactive Bug Notifications for that level. For example, if you click the Critical count or the Critical Customer Risk percentage criteria, the advisories are filtered to display only the critical customer risk Proactive Bug Notifications for the device. The risk level filters in the insights bar make it easy to identify devices that need a software upgrade.

From the Proactive Bug Notifications page, select an entry to view the Device PBN Quick View pane. The Device PNB Quick View pane displays detailed information about the known issue.

For more information on the fields on the Proactive Bug Notifications page and Device Quick View pane, see Table 2.
