Junos OS: MX Series: Dynamic filter fails to match IPv6 prefix

Reported by juniper · Published January 15, 2021

This issue affects only IPv6 prefixes when used as source and destination. This issue affects MX Series devices using MS-MPC, MS-MIC or MS-SPC3 service cards with IDS service configured. This issue affects: Juniper Networks Junos OS 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R3-S10 on MX Series; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R3-S3 on MX Series; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S11 on MX Series; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S6 on MX Series; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R3-S4 on MX Series; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R3-S6 on MX Series; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2-S2, 19.1R3-S3 on MX Series; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R3-S1 on MX Series; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2-S5, 19.3R3-S1 on MX Series; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R3 on MX Series; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R2 on MX Series; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R2 on MX Series;
