Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.2.x < 10.2.7-h16 / 11.1.x < 11.1.2-h14 / 11.2.x < 11.2.2-h3 Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 211641

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 10.2.x prior to 10.2.7-h16 or 11.1.x prior to 11.1.2-h14 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.2-h3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 A null pointer dereference in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software on PA-800 Series, PA-3200 Series, PA-5200 Series, and PA-7000 Series hardware platforms when Decryption policy is enabled allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash PAN-OS by sending specific traffic through the data plane, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition will result in PAN-OS entering maintenance mode.
 Palo Alto Networks VM-Series, Cloud NGFW, and Prisma Access are not affected.
 This issue only affects PA-800 Series, PA-3200 Series, PA-5200 Series, and PA-7000 Series running these specific versions of PAN-OS:
 * 10.2.7-h12
 * 10.2.8-h10
 * 10.2.9-h9
 * 10.2.9-h11
 * 10.2.10-h2
 * 10.2.10-h3
 * 10.2.11
 * 10.2.11-h1
 * 10.2.11-h2
 * 10.2.11-h3
 * 11.1.2-h9
 * 11.1.2-h12
 * 11.1.3-h2
 * 11.1.3-h4
 * 11.1.3-h6
 * 11.2.2
 * 11.2.2-h1

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 10.2.7-h16 / 11.1.2-h14 / 11.2.2-h3 or later
