Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.19, 5.1.x prior to 5.1.12, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.14, 6.1.x prior to 6.1.12, or 7.0.x prior to 7.0.8. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability due to improper sanitization of the root_reboot local invocation. A local attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS version 5.0.19 / 5.1.12 / 6.0.14 / 6.1.12 / 7.0.8 or later.
