CVE-2019-0037: Junos OS: jdhcpd crash upon receipt of crafted DHCPv6 solicit message

In a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 (DHCPv6) environment, the jdhcpd daemon may crash and restart upon receipt of certain DHCPv6 solicit messages received from a DHCPv6 client. By continuously sending the same crafted packet, an attacker can repeatedly crash the jdhcpd process causing a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) to both IPv4 and IPv6 clients. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS: 15.1 versions prior to 15.1F6-S12, 15.1R7-S3; 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D171, 15.1X49-D180; 15.1X53 versions prior to 15.1X53-D236, 15.1X53-D496; 16.1 versions prior to 16.1R3-S10, 16.1R7-S4; 16.2 versions prior to 16.2R2-S8; 17.1 versions prior to 17.1R2-S10, 17.1R3; 17.2 versions prior to 17.2R1-S8, 17.2R3-S1; 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S3; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R1-S6, 17.4R2-S3; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R2-S4, 18.1R3-S2; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R2; 18.2X75 versions prior to 18.2X75-D30; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R1-S2. This issue does not affect Junos OS releases prior to 15.1.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A crafted DHCPv6 client message can crash Junos OS jdhcpd. Repeated crashes can disrupt DHCP services for both IPv4 and IPv6 clients, creating a network availability incident rather than data theft. Exposure is most likely on Juniper devices running affected Junos OS releases where jdhcpd provides DHCPv6 service to reachable clients. The CVSS vector indicates adjacent-network access, no privileges, no user interaction, and high availability impact. Treat as a high-priority network availability risk for affected Juniper DHCP deployments. It is not described as data compromise, but outage impact can be material where DHCP supports user, branch, or infrastructure connectivity. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected Junos OS branches to the fixed releases listed in Juniper JSA10926.; Prioritize remediation on devices providing DHCP services to production networks.; Review Juniper guidance for any branch-specific workarounds or upgrade constraints..
