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-h11 or 10.2.x prior to 10.2.14 or 11.1.x prior to 11.1.8 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software causes the firewall to unexpectedly reboot when processing a specially crafted LLDP frame sent by an unauthenticated adjacent attacker. Repeated attempts to initiate this condition causes the firewall to enter maintenance mode.

 This issue does not apply to Cloud NGFWs or Prisma Access software.

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-h11 / 10.2.14 / 11.1.8 / 11.2.5 or later
