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 10.1.15 or 10.2.x prior to 10.2.14 or 11.1.x prior to 11.1.5 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 A Denial of Service vulnerability in the DNS Security feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a malicious packet through the data plane of the firewall that reboots the firewall. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition will cause the firewall to enter maintenance mode.

 This issue is applicable to the PAN-OS software versions listed below on PA-Series firewalls, VM-Series firewalls, CN-Series firewalls, and Prisma Access.

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 10.1.15 / 10.2.14 / 11.1.5 / 11.2.3 or later
