CVE-2020-1979

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PAN-OS versions prior to 8.1.13

Description A format string vulnerability in the PAN-OS log daemon (logd) on Panorama allows a network-based attacker with knowledge of registered firewall devices and access to Panorama management interfaces to execute arbitrary code, bypassing the restricted shell and escalating privileges.

Recommendations For PAN-OS versions prior to 8.1.13, update to PAN-OS 8.1.13 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Panorama management interfaces to minimize the risk of exploitation.
