Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.x < 10.1.9 / 10.2.x < 10.2.4 Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 202119

Language:

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 10.1.9 or 10.2.x prior to 10.2.4.
It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks Panorama software enables an authenticated read-write administrator with access to the web interface to disrupt system processes and crash the Panorama. Repeated attacks eventually cause the Panorama to enter maintenance mode, which requires manual intervention to bring the Panorama back online.

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 10.1.9 / 10.2.4 or later
