CVE-2024-9472
Overview
CVE-2024-9472 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on November 14, 2024.
Technical Description
A null pointer dereference in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software on PA-800 Series, PA-3200 Series, PA-5200 Series, and PA-7000 Series hardware platforms when Decryption policy is enabled allows an unauthenticated attacker to crash PAN-OS by sending specific traffic through the data plane, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition. Repeated attempts to trigger this condition will result in PAN-OS entering maintenance mode.
Palo Alto Networks VM-Series, Cloud NGFW, and Prisma Access are not affected.
This issue only affects PA-800 Series, PA-3200 Series, PA-5200 Series, and PA-7000 Series running these specific versions of PAN-OS:
