VERSION MINOR VERSION SUGGESTED SOLUTION PAN-OS 11.2 on VM-Series No action needed PAN-OS 11.1 on VM-Series No action needed PAN-OS 11.0 on VM-Series 11.0.0 through 11.0.3 Upgrade to 11.0.4 or later PAN-OS 10.2 on VM-Series 10.2.0 through 10.2.8 Upgrade to 10.2.9 or later PAN-OS 10.1 on VM-Series 10.1.0 through 10.1.14 Upgrade to 10.1.14-h13 or later PAN-OS on non VM-Series platforms No action needed All other older unsupported PAN-OS versions Upgrade to a supported fixed version PAN-OS 11.0 is EoL. We listed it in this section for completeness because we added a patch for PAN-OS 11.0 before it reached EoL. If you are running PAN-OS 11.0 in any of your firewalls, we strongly recommend that you upgrade from this EoL vulnerable version to a fixed version.
