Descriptions

An authentication bypass by spoofing vulnerability exists in the authentication daemon and User-ID components of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS by failing to verify the integrity of the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) before authenticating users. This affects all forms of authentication that use a Kerberos authentication profile. A man-in-the-middle type of attacker with the ability to intercept communication between PAN-OS and KDC can login to PAN-OS as an administrator. This issue affects: PAN-OS 7.1 versions earlier than 7.1.26; PAN-OS 8.1 versions earlier than 8.1.13; PAN-OS 9.0 versions earlier than 9.0.6; All version of PAN-OS 8.0.

Esto afecta a todas las formas de autenticación que usan un perfil de autenticación Kerberos. Un atacante de tipo intermediario con la capacidad de interceptar la comunicación entre PAN-OS y KDC puede iniciar sesión en PAN-OS como administrador. Este problema afecta: PAN-OS 7.1 versiones anteriores a la versión 7.1.26; PAN-OS 8.1 versiones anteriores a la versión 8.1.13; PAN-OS 9.0 versiones anteriores a la versión 9.0.6; Todas las versiones de PAN-OS 8.0.
