Synopsis

The remote PAN-OS host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 7.1.x prior to 7.1.24 or 8.0.x prior to 8.0.19 or 8.1.x prior to 8.1.8-h5 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.2-h4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- An integer overflow condition exists in Linux kernel's networking subsystem processed TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) segments. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via by sending a crafted sequence of SACK segments on a TCP connection with small value of TCP MSS, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) to cause a crash Linux kernel.(CVE-2019-11477)

- An excessive resource consumption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem processed TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) segments. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via by sending a crafted sequence of SACK segments on a TCP connection, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2019-11478)

- An excessive resource consumption flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem processed TCP segments.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via repeatedly sending network traffic on TCP connection with low TCP MSS, resulting in a denial of service (Dos). (CVE-2019-11479)

Solution

Upgrade to PAN-OS 7.1.24 / 8.0.19 / 8.1.8-h5 / 9.0.2-h4 or later
