This leads to persistent RE switchovers and a clksyncd process crash. This issue is outside the attacker's direct control as it's a\u00A0race condition.\n\nThis issue affects Junos OS on MX Series:\n\n\n  *  All versions before 23.2R2-S7.7;\n  *  23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8.13;\n  *  24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5.5;\n  *  24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4;\n  *  25.2 versions before 25.2R2-S1;\n  *  25.4 versions before 25.4R1-S2.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-14T16:26:30.073+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-14T20:26:05.796+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Junos OS","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"platforms\": [\n                        \"MX Series\"\n                    ],\n                    \"product\": \"Junos OS\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Juniper Networks\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"23.2R2-S7.7\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"custom\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"23.4R2-S8.13\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"23.4\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"custom\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"24.2R2-S5.5\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"24.2\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"custom\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"24.4R2-S4\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"24.4\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"custom\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"25.2R2-S1\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"25.2\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"custom\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"lessThan\": \"25.4R1-S2\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"25.4\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"custom\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.3,"severity":"MEDIUM"},{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L/AU:Y/R:U/RE:M","score":6,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://supportportal.juniper.net/JSA112178"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-102080","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-102080","identifiers":["CVE-2026-102080"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
