Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS Series PA-7000 9.0 < 9.0.7 / 9.1 < 9.1.2 RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 137355

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 9.0.x prior to 9.0.7 or 9.1.x prior to 9.1.2.
It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability. Improper restriction of communications to Log Forwarding Card (LFC) on PA-7000 Series devices with the WildFire service enabled may allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the LFC to gain root access to PAN-OS.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 9.0.7, 9.1.2 or later
