on all major hardware platforms. An issue was discovered that can cause jdhcpd to crash and restart when a
crafted DHCPv6 packet is received from a subscriber. Repeated crashes of the jdhcpd process may constitute an
extended denial of service condition for subscribers attempting to obtain IPv6 addresses.

This issue only affects devices configured for DHCP services via IPv6 with either Server or Relay enabled. IPv4
 is not vulnerable to this issue.");
