Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software enables an unauthenticated attacker to render the service unavailable by sending a large number of specially crafted packets over a period of time. This issue affects both the GlobalProtect portal and the GlobalProtect gateway. This issue does not apply to Cloud NGFWs or Prisma Access software.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A Denial of Service vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS GlobalProtect feature allows an unauthenticated attacker to render the service unavailable by sending a large number of specially crafted packets over time. The attack targets both GlobalProtect portal and GlobalProtect gateway, exploiting the service's handling of crafted network traffic.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied patch for PAN-OS when available, or implement network-level rate limiting and traffic filtering for GlobalProtect interfaces to mitigate the attack vector until patching can be completed.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check PAN-OS version
    Run 'show system info' or access the PAN-OS web interface under Device > Setup > Operations to view the installed PAN-OS version
    Affected if The installed version is >= 10.1.0 and < 10.1.14, OR >= 10.2.0 and < 10.2.5, OR >= 11.0.0 and < 11.0.2, OR equals exactly 10.1.14
  2. Verify GlobalProtect is enabled
    Check Network > GlobalProtect > Portals and Network > GlobalProtect > Gateways to see if any GlobalProtect configurations exist
    Affected if Any GlobalProtect portal or gateway is configured and enabled on the device
  3. Confirm GlobalProtect interface exposure
    Review the interface assignments under Network > GlobalProtect > Portals and Network > GlobalProtect > Gateways to identify which interfaces accept GlobalProtect traffic
    Affected if GlobalProtect is bound to external or untrusted interfaces accessible from the network
  4. Check for service availability
    Attempt to access the GlobalProtect portal URL or ping the GlobalProtect gateway interface to verify the service is responding
    Affected if The service is unreachable or responding intermittently after receiving crafted network traffic

A user is affected if their PAN-OS version falls within the affected ranges AND GlobalProtect portal or gateway is enabled and exposed on the network.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 10.1.14 / 10.2.5 / 11.0.2 or later
Fixed in 10.1.1410.2.511.0.2
Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-supplied patch for PAN-OS when available, or implement network-level rate limiting and traffic filtering for GlobalProtect interfaces to mitigate the attack vector until patching can be completed.

Recommended fix High confidence

PAN-OS 10.1.14-h2+ / 10.1.15+, 10.2.5+, or 11.0.2+ (based on current branch)

  1. 1. Identify the current PAN-OS version by navigating to Device > Dynamic Updates in the web interface or using 'show system info' in CLI
  2. 2. For PAN-OS 10.1.x: Upgrade to PAN-OS 10.1.14-h2 or later (or 10.1.15+)
  3. 3. For PAN-OS 10.2.x: Upgrade to PAN-OS 10.2.5 or later
  4. 4. For PAN-OS 11.0.x: Upgrade to PAN-OS 11.0.2 or later
  5. 5. Download the latest content and software updates from the Palo Alto Networks Support Portal
  6. 6. Schedule a maintenance window and backup the current configuration
  7. 7. Upload and install the new PAN-OS version following standard upgrade procedures
  8. 8. After reboot, verify the GlobalProtect service is operational and the version is correct using 'show system info'
Caveat Standard PAN-OS upgrade considerations apply - review release notes for known issues and ensure compatibility with Panorama if managed centrally; may require reboot
