The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 8.0.x prior to 8.1.15 or 9.0.x prior to 9.0.9 or 9.1.x prior to 9.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a buffer overflow condition in the Captive Portal or Multi-Factor Authentication interface. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a malicious request to the Captive Portal or Multi-Factor Authentication interface, to disrupt system processes and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
