CVE-2015-3002
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedJuniper Junos 12.1X44 before 12.1X44-D45, 12.1X46 before 12.1X46-D30, 12.1X47 before 12.1X47-D15, and 12.3X48 before 12.3X48-D10 on SRX series devices does not properly enforce the log-out-on-disconnect feature when configured in the [system port console] stanza, which allows physically proximate attackers to reconnect to the console port and gain administrative access by leveraging access to the device.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe log-out-on-disconnect feature in Junos console configuration on SRX series devices is not properly enforced. When configured in [system port console], disconnecting from the console should terminate the session, but a physical attacker can reconnect and gain administrative access without authentication.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify device modelRun 'show chassis hardware' or 'show system information' to confirm the device is an SRX series applianceAffected if Device is NOT an SRX series (the vulnerability only affects SRX devices)
-
Check Junos versionRun 'show version' to obtain the installed Junos version numberAffected if Version is exactly 12.1X44, 12.1X45, 12.1X46, 12.1X47, or 12.1X48 (these are the affected versions)
-
Verify console configurationRun 'show configuration system port console' to see if console is configured under this hierarchyAffected if Console is configured under [system port console] (the vulnerability only applies when console is configured here)
-
Check for log-out-on-disconnect settingRun 'show configuration system port console | display set' to see if 'logout-on-disconnect' is configuredAffected if The 'logout-on-disconnect' option is explicitly configured in the console settings
A user is affected if they have an SRX device running Junos exactly version 12.1X44 through 12.1X48, with console configured under [system port console] and the logout-on-disconnect feature in use.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade Junos to version 12.1X44-D45 or later, 12.1X46-D30 or later, 12.1X47-D15 or later, or 12.3X48-D10 or later. If console access is not required, disable it.
