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

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 73/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Dec 30, 2024). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Jan 20, 2025.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 29.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.1% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.14-h8, 10.1.15, 10.2.10-h12.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 10.1.14-h8, 10.1.15, 10.2.10-h12 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · CISA KEV · FIRST EPSS

A Denial of Service vulnerability in the DNS Security feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software allows an unauthenticated attacker to send a malicious packet through the data plane of the firewall that reboots the firewall. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition will cause the firewall to enter maintenance mode.

Actively exploited in the wild

CISA added this to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on Dec 30, 2024. That signals real attacks, not theory.

Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Jan 20, 2025.
