11.2.x, or 12.1.x. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

    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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the PAN-OS security advisory.

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