Description
A packet processing mechanism in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables a
remote attacker to reboot hardware-based firewalls. Repeated attacks eventually
cause the firewall to enter maintenance mode, which requires manual
intervention to bring the firewall back online.
This affects the following hardware firewall models:
- PA-5400 Series firewalls
- PA-7000 Series firewalls
Product Status
Versions Affected Unaffected
Cloud NGFW None All
PAN-OS 11.1 None All
PAN-OS 11.0 < 11.0.3 >= 11.0.3
PAN-OS 10.2 < 10.2.8 >= 10.2.8
PAN-OS 10.1 < 10.1.12 >= 10.1.12
PAN-OS 9.1 < 9.1.17 >= 9.1.17
PAN-OS 9.0 < 9.0.17-h4 >= 9.0.17-h4
Prisma Access None All
Required Configuration for Exposure
This does not affect VM-Series firewalls, CN-Series firewalls, Cloud NGFWs, or
Prisma Access.
This issue affects only PAN-OS configurations with GTP Security disabled. You
should verify whether GTP Security is disabled by checking your firewall web
interface (Device > Setup > Management > General Settings) and take the
appropriate actions as needed.
Severity: HIGH
CVSSv4.0 Base Score: 8.2 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N
