There have been some reports from various now-scrambling ISPs and NSPs about their Juniper JunOS devices rebooting. Apparently, it may be related to the (either accidental or intentional) exploitation of this bug: http://pastebin.com/HBWiH92j
From the reports of those networks having problems, it's interesting to hear who's running Juniper and MXes.
<tangential sidenote> It's too bad that Junipers bugs aren't listed publicly. For clueful network operations, having this information available to them could have enabled them to properly weigh the risk of evaluating and certifying versions of their operating systems. Cheers, jof
