Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.x < 10.1.14 / 10.2.x < 10.2.4-h6 / 11.0.x < 11.0.5 Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 211468

Synopsis

The remote PAN-OS host is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 10.1.x prior to 10.1.14 or 10.2.x prior to 10.2.4-h6 or 11.0.x prior to 11.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 A null pointer dereference vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker to stop a core system service on the firewall by sending a crafted packet through the data plane that causes a denial of service (DoS) condition. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition result in the firewall entering maintenance mode.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the PAN-OS security advisory.

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 PAN-OS 10.1.14 / 10.2.4-h6 / 11.0.5 or later
