JSA11069 - 2020-10 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: jdhcpd process crash when processing
a specific DHCPDv6 packet in DHCPv6 relay configuration. (CVE-2020-1672)
PRODUCT AFFECTED:
This issue affects Junos OS 17.3, 17.4, 18.1, 18.2, 18.2X75, 18.3, 18.4, 19.1,
19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 20.1.
PROBLEM:
On Juniper Networks Junos OS devices configured with DHCPv6 relay enabled, receipt
of a specific DHCPv6 packet might crash the jdhcpd daemon.
The jdhcpd daemon automatically restarts without intervention, but continuous
receipt of specific crafted DHCP messages will repeatedly crash jdhcpd, leading
to an extended Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Only DHCPv6 packet can trigger this issue. DHCPv4 packet cannot trigger this issue.
