A denial of service vulnerability in Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller Application prior to version 2.1.0 Service Pack 1 may allow an unauthenticated, local user, to create a fork bomb scenario, also known as a rabbit virus, or wabbit, which will create processes that replicate themselves, until all resources are consumed on the system, leading to a denial of service to the entire system until it is restarted. Continued attacks by an unauthenticated, local user, can lead to persistent denials of services.

Una vulnerabilidad de denegación de servicio en Juniper Networks NorthStar Controller Application anterior a la versión 2.1.0 Service Pack 1 puede permitir a un usuario local, no autenticado, crear un escenario de bomba fork, también conocido como virus de conejo, o wabbir, lo que creará procesos que se replican ellos mismos, hasta que todos los recursos se consuman en el sistema, conduciendo a una denegación de servicio a todo el sistema hasta que se reinicie. Los ataques continuos de un usuario local no autenticado pueden llevar a denegaciones de servicios persistentes.
