Description

The Palo Alto Networks Product Security Assurance team evaluated the OpenSSL vulnerability CVE-2020-1971.

All supported versions of PAN-OS software use a version of OpenSSL that contains this vulnerability but there are no scenarios for successful exploitation of the vulnerability in the applications.

As a result, there is no known security impact for this vulnerability in PAN-OS software. However, out of an abundance of caution, we patched the impacted OpenSSL code in PAN-OS 8.1.19, PAN-OS 9.0.14, PAN-OS 9.1.8, and PAN-OS 10.0.5.
