2020-10 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: When a DHCPv6 Relay-Agent is configured upon
receipt of a specific DHCPv6 client message, Remote Code Execution may occur. (CVE-2020-1656)
Article ID : JSA11049
Last Updated: 14 Oct 2020
Version : 1.0
Product Affected:
This issue affects Junos OS 12.3, 12.3X48, 14.1X53, 15.1, 15.1X49, 15.1X53,
16.1, 16.2, 17.1, 17.2, 17.2X75, 17.3, 17.4, 18.1, 18.2, 18.2X75, 18.3, 18.4,
19.1, 19.2, 19.3.
Problem:
The DHCPv6 Relay-Agent service, part of the Juniper Enhanced jdhcpd daemon
shipped with Juniper Networks Junos OS has an Improper Input Validation
vulnerability which will result in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition when a
DHCPv6 client sends a specific DHPCv6 message allowing an attacker to
potentially perform a Remote Code Execution (RCE) attack on the target device.
Continuous receipt of the specific DHCPv6 client message will result in an
extended Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
If adjacent devices are also configured to relay DHCP packets, and are not
affected by this issue and simply transparently forward unprocessed client
DHCPv6 messages, then the attack vector can be a Network-based attack, instead
of an Adjacent-device attack. No other DHCP services are affected. Receipt of
the packet without configuration of the DHCPv6 Relay-Agent service, will not
result in exploitability of this issue.
