[j-nsp] 'Juniper BGP issues causing locallized Internet Problems, (Mon, Nov 7th)?

[Jonas Frey (Probe Networks)]

Well...basically yes. The issue (PSN-2011-08-327) is known since august.
I guess the fact that juniper has listed the issue as "the 
probability of exploiting this defect is extremely low" has led many
networks to not implent a immediate fix for this on a security
perspective.
As you know maintenance usually causes service impact for customers and
(if possible) most networks like to avoid unneccessary downtimes.
Additionally alot of folks like to test new software in a lab
environment first so a simple update to a new JunOS version can
sometimes be quite complex and cost intensive.
