“A vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) to the firewall. Repeated attempts to trigger this issue results in the firewall entering into maintenance mode,” Palo Alto Networks warns.

“We have successfully completed the Prisma Access upgrade for most of the customers, with the exception of few in progress due to conflicting upgrade schedules. Remaining customers are being promptly scheduled for an upgrade through our standard upgrade process.”

Internet security watchdog Shadowserver currently tracks nearly 6,000 Palo Alto Networks firewalls exposed online, though there is no information on how many have vulnerable configurations or have already been patched.

Palo Alto Networks has issued security updates for all affected versions. Admins should upgrade to the latest release to protect their systems from attacks.
