According to its self-reported version number, the version of Junos Space running on the remote device is prior to 15.1R1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - An error exists within the Apache 'mod_session_dbd'     module, related to save operations for a session, due to     a failure to consider the dirty flag and to require a     new session ID. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can     exploit this to have an unspecified impact.
    (CVE-2013-2249)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the MySQL Server component     related to error handling that allows a remote attacker     to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2013-5908)

  - A flaw exists within the Apache 'mod_dav' module that is     caused when tracking the length of CDATA that has     leading white space. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted DAV WRITE     request, to cause the service to stop responding.
    (CVE-2013-6438)

  - A flaw exists within the Apache 'mod_log_config' module     that is caused when logging a cookie that has an     unassigned value. An unauthenticated, remote attacker     can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to     cause the service to crash. (CVE-2014-0098)

  - A flaw exists, related to pixel manipulation, in the     2D component in the Oracle Java runtime that allows an     unauthenticated, remote attacker to impact availability,     confidentiality, and integrity. (CVE-2014-0429)

  - A flaw exists, related to PKCS#1 unpadding, in the     Security component in the Oracle Java runtime that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to gain     knowledge of timing information, which is intended to     be protected by encryption. (CVE-2014-0453)

  - A race condition exists, related to array copying, in     the Hotspot component in the Oracle Java runtime that     allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-0456)

  - A flaw exists in the JNDI component in the Oracle Java     runtime due to missing randomization of query IDs. An     unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to     conduct spoofing attacks. (CVE-2014-0460)

  - A flaw exists in the Mozilla Network Security Services     (NSS) library, which is due to lenient parsing of ASN.1     values involved in a signature and can lead to the     forgery of RSA signatures, such as SSL certificates.
    (CVE-2014-1568)

  - An unspecified flaw exists in the MySQL Server component     related to the CLIENT:SSL:yaSSL subcomponent that allows     a remote attacker to impact integrity. (CVE-2014-6478)

  - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in the MySQL Server     component related to the SERVER:SSL:yaSSL subcomponent     that allow a remote attacker to impact confidentiality,     integrity, and availability. (CVE-2014-6491,     CVE-2014-6500)
