"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.

    Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the User-ID Terminal Server Agent (TSA) component of Palo Alto
    Networks PAN-OS software allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access to cause a denial of
    service (DoS) condition or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted network
    traffic.

    The security risk posed by this issue is minimized when the User-ID Terminal Server Agent connectivity is
    restricted to only trusted internal IP addresses according to our recommended best practice deployment
    guidelines (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/ngfw/help/10-2/user-identification/device-user-
    identification-terminal-services-agents#:~:text=To%20minimize%20security%20risk%2C%20restrict%20TS%20Agent
    %20connectivity%20to%20trusted%20internal%20IP%20addresses%20only.).

    Panorama is not impacted by this vulnerability.
