A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS allows an authenticated administrator to send a request that causes the rasmgr daemon to crash. Repeated attempts to send this request result in denial of service to all PAN-OS services by restarting the device and putting it into maintenance mode. This issue affects: PAN-OS 9.1 versions earlier than 9.1.2.
