Juniper Networks has confirmed this issue and released software updates. In most cases, these software updates will prevent the vulnerability from being exploited. However, if a user has open port 22 for SSH, or open port 80 for HTTP, or does not have any restrictions in place for these services, then this vulnerability could still be exploited.
