This issue does not affect Junos OS with FreeBSD 6, for example Junos OS 15.1X49.
 

To verifiy which FreeBSD version is used in Junos OS, the administrator can use the following commands:

user&device> start shell
% sysctl kern.osreldate
kern.osreldate: 601000 <-- start with 6, this is FreeBSD6 base (6.1)
user&device> start shell
% sysctl kern.osreldate
kern.osreldate: 1001510 <-- start with 10, FreeBSD10 base.
