Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when an MX Series Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) is configured as a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) with DHCPv6 enabled. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DHCP response message on a subscriber interface, crash jdhcpd and cause an extended denial of service condition on the target system.
