A buffer overflow vulnerability in the PAN-OS management web interface allows authenticated administrators to disrupt system processes and potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges. This issue impacts only PAN-OS 10.0 versions earlier than PAN-OS 10.0.1.
Solution:
Workaround:
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow.
