[TLP:CLEAR] Juniper fixes 1 critical vulnerability

Juniper fixes a critical vulnerability in the Session Smart Router and Session Smart Conductor products with versions 5.6.15, 6.1.9-lts and 6.2.5-sts, and in the WAN Assurance Router product with versions 6.1.9-lts and 6.2.5. If the devices are part of a Conductor-managed environment, it is sufficient to update the Conductor devices and the fix will also be applied to the connected routers; nevertheless, it is good practice to update all affected devices. All WAN Assurance routers connected to the Mist Cloud were fixed automatically [1].
