Vulnerability Summary

A local privilege escalation vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local, low-privileged user to cause the Juniper DHCP daemon (jdhcpd) process to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS), or execute arbitrary commands as root. Continued processing of malicious input will repeatedly crash the system and sustain the Denial of Service (DoS) condition. Systems are only vulnerable if jdhcpd is running, which can be confirmed via the 'show system processes' command. For example: root@host# run show system processes extensive | match dhcp 26537 root -16 0 97568K 13692K RUN 0 0:01 3.71% jdhcpd This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS: All versions, including the following supported releases: 15.1 versions before 15.1R7-S10; 17.4 versions before 17.4R3-S5; 18.3 versions before 18.3R3-S5; 18.4 versions before 18.4R3-S9; 19.1 versions before 19.1R3-S6; 19.2 versions before 19.2R1-S7, 19.2R3-S3; 19.3 versions before 19.3R2-S6, 19.3R3-S3; 19.4 versions before 19.4R3-S6; 20.1 versions before 20.1R2-S2, 20.1R3-S1; 20.2 versions before 20.2R3-S2; 20.3 versions before 20.3R3; 20.4 versions before 20.4R2-S1, 20.4R3; 21.1 versions before 21.1R1-S1, 21.1R2.
