CVE-2022-22163
Last modified
CVE-2022-22163 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An Improper Input Validation vulnerability in the Juniper DHCP daemon (jdhcpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to cause a crash of jdhcpd and thereby a Denial of Service (DoS). If a device is configured as DHCPv6 local server and persistent storage is enabled, jdhcpd will crash when receiving a specific DHCPv6 message. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
