On SRX5000 Series with SPC3, SRX4000 Series, and vSRX: All versions prior to 19.4R2-S6, 19.4R3-S7; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R3-S3; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R3-S4; 20.3 versions prior to 20.3R3-S3; 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R3-S2; 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3; 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3; 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R1-S2, 21.3R2. All users are advised to upgrade to the latest Juniper Networks Junos version. Juniper Networks will release a hotfix in the next few days. Until then, end users can work around this issue by disabling PowerMode IPsec on SRX5000 Series, SRX4000 Series, and vSRX devices. The workaround is available in any version of Junos that supports IPv6. On SRX5000 Series with SPC3, SRX4000 Series, and vSRX, when the PFE is configured with IPv6 and the PFE receives a malformed IPv6 packet, the PFE crashes. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX5000 Series with SPC3, SRX4000 Series, and vSRX:
