Fix not verifiedWhen a device using Juniper Network's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Daemon (JDHCPD) process on Junos OS or Junos OS Evolved which is configured in relay mode it vulnerable to an attacker sending crafted IPv4 packets who may remotely take over the code execution of the JDHDCP process. This issue affect IPv4 JDHCPD services. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS: 15.1 versions prior to 15.1R7-S6; 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D200; 15.1X53 versions prior to 15.1X53-D592; 16.1 versions prior to 16.1R7-S6; 16.2 versions prior to 16.2R2-S11; 17.1 versions prior to 17.1R2-S11, 17.1R3-S1; 17.2 versions prior to 17.2R2-S8, 17.2R3-S3; 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S6; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S7, 17.4R3; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S8; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S2; 18.2X75 versions prior to 18.2X75-D60; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R1-S6, 18.3R2-S2, 18.3R3; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R1-S5, 18.4R2-S3, 18.4R3; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R1-S3, 19.1R2; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S3, 19.2R2*. and All versions prior to 19.3R1 on Junos OS Evolved. This issue do not affect versions of Junos OS prior to 15.1, or JDHCPD operating as a local server in non-relay mode.

The program can continue using memory after it has been released, producing unsafe and attacker-influenceable behaviour.
An attacker operating through an adjacent network may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
CWE-416: Use After Free. The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory belongs to the code that operates on the new pointer.
