Remedy
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions as they become available. Otherwise, users with vulnerable versions of affected devices should enable Threat Prevention IDs available from the vendor. See the vendor bulletin for more details and a patch release schedule.
Remedy
We strongly advise customers to immediately upgrade to a fixed version of PAN-OS to protect their devices even when workarounds and mitigations have been applied. This issue is fixed in PAN-OS 10.2.9-h1, PAN-OS 11.0.4-h1, PAN-OS 11.1.2-h3, and in all later PAN-OS versions. Customers who upgrade to these versions will be fully protected.
