"The version of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS running on the remote host is a vulnerable version of 10.2.x, 11.1.x, 11.2.x,
or 12.1.x. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

    An IPv6 packet processing vulnerability in the dataplane of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an
    unauthenticated attacker to bypass firewall security policy enforcement, allowing network traffic that
    should be blocked to reach protected services.

    Cloud NGFW and Panorama are not impacted by this vulnerability.


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.");
