This is a serious vulnerability, but before it becomes Internet legend, this issue does not impact the entire line of 
Juniper products.  It "only" impacts Juniper ScreenOS systems, not JunOS (that we know of at this time).  Netscreen 
products include the NS and SSG VPN/Firewall chassis.  SRX next-gen systems as well as EX and MX gear run JunOS.  

There are patched versions of the firmware available.
