PAN-SA-2016-0024 Web interface denial of service
Description
Palo Alto Networks firewalls offer a web interface to manage all aspects of the device. A denial of service condition was identified in this process (Ref # 89984).
A third party could remotely disrupt the web management process and cause a management delay before the device resumes normal management operations.
This issue affects PAN-OS 5.1.11 and earlier; PAN-OS 6.0.13 and earlier; PAN-OS 6.1.12 and earlier; PAN-OS 7.0.8 and earlier; PAN-OS 7.1.2 and earlier

Workarounds and Mitigations
Palo Alto Networks recommends implementing a best practice of allowing web interface access only to a dedicated management network. Additionally, restrict the set of IP addresses to a subset of authorized sources that you allow to interact with the management network.
