Summary

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the phone-home daemon (phcd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code as root via a crafted DHCP SZTP bootstrap message. This issue only affects platforms that support Secure-ZTP.
