For these Threat IDs to protect against attacks for this vulnerability: * Route incoming traffic for the MGT port through a DP port (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices/10-1/administrative-access-best-practices/administrative-access-best-practices/deploy-administrative-access-best-practices#id59206398-3dab-4b2f-9b4b-7ea500d036ba), e.g., enabling management profile on a DP interface for management access. * Replace the Certificate for Inbound Traffic Management (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices/10-1/administrative-access-best-practices/administrative-access-best-practices/deploy-administrative-access-best-practices#id112f7714-8995-4496-bbf9-781e63dec71c). * Decrypt inbound traffic to the management interface so the firewall can inspect it. (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices/10-1/administrative-access-best-practices/administrative-access-best-practices/deploy-administrative-access-best-practices#idbbd82587-17a2-42b4-9245-d3714e1e13a2) * Enable threat prevention on the inbound traffic to management services. Please note that this Threat ID requires SSL Decryption. Customers can mitigate the risk of this issue by taking the following actions. Disable CRL and OCSP Revocation Checking: * Navigate to Device > Certificate Management > Certificate Profile (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/ngfw/help/10-2/device/device-certificate-management-certificate-profile). * Click on the Certificate Profile assigned to the active IKE Gateway. * Uncheck Use CRL. * Uncheck Use OCSP. * Click OK and Commit the changes. Disable configured DNS proxy objects: * Navigate to Network > DNS Proxy (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/ngfw/help/10-1/network/network-dns-proxy). * Click on each configured DNS Proxy object. * Uncheck the Enable checkbox. * Click OK and Commit the changes.
