A packet processing mechanism in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables a remote attacker to reboot hardware-based firewalls.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.90%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
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
