A Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in the jdhcpd process of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved platforms allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to cause denial of service or execute arbitrary code with root privileges via a malformed DHCPv4 server response when the DHCPv4 local-client feature is used.

CVSS
