Description

A null pointer dereference in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software on PA-800 Series, PA-3200 Series, PA-5200 Series, and PA-7000 Series hardware platforms when Decryption policy is enabled allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash PAN-OS by sending specific traffic through the data plane, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition will result in PAN-OS entering maintenance mode.

Palo Alto Networks VM-Series, Cloud NGFW, and Prisma Access are not affected.

This issue only affects PA-800 Series, PA-3200 Series, PA-5200 Series, and PA-7000 Series running these specific versions of PAN-OS:

Required Configuration for Exposure

This issue is only applicable firewalls where url proxy or any decrypt-policy is configured.

When any decrypt policy is configured, this issue may be encountered regardless of whether traffic matches explicit decrypt, explicit no-decrypt, or none of the decryption policies.

Severity: MEDIUM, Suggested Urgency: MODERATE
