CVE-2024-2551

PAN-OS: Firewall Denial of Service (DoS) Using a Specially Crafted Packet

Published Nov 14, 2024 CVSS 4.0 · 8.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

A null pointer dereference vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker to stop a core system service on the firewall by sending a crafted packet through the data plane that causes a denial of service (DoS) condition. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition result in the firewall entering maintenance mode.
