The version of Palo Alto GlobalProtect Agent installed on the remote Windows host is 5.1.x prior to 5.1.8, or 5.2.x prior to 5.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by a denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability. A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows systems allows a limited Windows user to send specifically-crafted input to the GlobalProtect app that results in a Windows blue screen of death (BSOD) error.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
