Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 11.1.x < 11.1.6-h1 / 11.1.x < 11.1.7-h2 / 11.2.x < 11.2.5 Vulnerability

high Nessus Plugin ID 236401

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 11.1.x prior to 11.1.6-h1 / 11.1.7-h2 or 11.2.x prior to 11.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

 A missing exception check in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software with the web proxy feature enabled allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a burst of maliciously crafted packets that causes the firewall to become unresponsive and eventually reboot. Repeated successful attempts to trigger this condition will cause the firewall to enter maintenance mode.

 This issue does not affect Cloud NGFW or 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 11.1.6-h1 / 11.1.7-h2 / 11.2.5 or later
