CVE-2025-59960
📋 TL;DR
A vulnerability in Juniper's DHCP service allows a DHCP client in one subnet to exhaust address pools in other subnets, causing Denial of Service on downstream DHCP servers. This affects Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved when DHCP relay forwards packets with Option 82 in 'forward-only' mode without proper validation.

Learn more about Junos →⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete DHCP address pool exhaustion across multiple subnets, preventing legitimate clients from obtaining IP addresses and causing widespread network connectivity failures.
Likely Case
Targeted exhaustion of specific DHCP server pools leading to localized DoS for clients attempting to connect to affected subnets.
If Mitigated
Minimal impact if proper configuration controls are implemented or systems are patched.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires crafting DHCP DISCOVER packets with Option 82 and targeting DHCP relay in forward-only mode.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Junos OS: 21.2R3-S10, 21.4R3-S12, 22.4R3-S8, 23.2R2-S5, 23.4R2-S6, 24.2R2-S2, 24.4R2, 25.2R1-S1 (or later). Junos OS Evolved: 21.4R3-S12-EVO, 22.4R3-S8-EVO, 23.2R2-S5-EVO, 23.4R2-S6-EVO, 24.2R2-S2-EVO, 24.4R2-EVO, 25.2R1-S1-EVO (or later).
Vendor Advisory: https://kb.juniper.net/JSA103149
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Identify affected Junos OS/Junos OS Evolved versions. 2. Download appropriate patch from Juniper support portal. 3. Apply patch following Juniper upgrade procedures. 4. Reboot device to activate fix.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Configure trust-option82
allEnable 'trust-option82' configuration on DHCP relay to properly handle Option 82 packets.
set forwarding-options dhcp-relay trust-option82
Disable forward-only mode
allRemove 'forward-only' configuration from DHCP relay if not required.
delete forwarding-options dhcp-relay forward-only
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement network segmentation to isolate DHCP relay traffic
- Deploy network monitoring to detect abnormal DHCP traffic patterns
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Junos OS version with 'show version' and compare against affected versions list.Check Version:
show versionVerify Fix Applied:
Verify patch installation with 'show version' and confirm version is patched. Test DHCP relay functionality with Option 82 packets.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual DHCP DISCOVER packet volumes
- DHCP address pool exhaustion alerts
- DHCP relay forwarding errors
Network Indicators:
- Spike in DHCP traffic with Option 82
- DHCP NAK responses indicating pool exhaustion
- Abnormal DHCP lease patterns across subnets
SIEM Query:
