The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is 8.0.x or 8.1.x prior to 8.1.16. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An insecure configuration of the appweb daemon allows a remote, unauthenticated user to send a specifically crafted request to the device that causes the appweb service to crash. Repeated attempts to send this request result in denial of service to all PAN-OS services by restarting the device and putting it into maintenance mode.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
