There goes the weekend...

A high-severity Palo Alto Networks denial-of-service vulnerability has been exploited by miscreants looking to launch DDoS attacks, and several of the affected products won't have a patch until next week., received an 8.6 out of 10 CVSS score, and it affects PAN OS, the operating system in Palo Alto Networks' network security products.

We're told fixes for software releases PAN-OS 8.1.23-h1, PAN-OS 9.0.16-h3, PAN-OS 9.1.14-h4, PAN-OS 10.0.11-h1, and PAN-OS 10.2.2-h2 will arrive sometime next week, on August 15 or later. To exploit this flaw, an external attacker would have to find a firewall with an a-typical, and likely unintended, configuration, according to the advisory.

'Exploitation of this issue does not impact the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our products.' I beg to differ: if you launch a DoS using my firewall as a reflector, my port's (firewall and/or transit uplink) likely to become saturated = availability impact!

Afghanistan is poorer and hungrier than a year agoThe Taliban’s capture of Kabul exactly 12 months ago capped a lightning advance through the country. The ease of their victory surprised everyone, including the fighters themselves. What has a year under Taliban rule meant for the country? This is no surprise. I hope no one in 2002 was saying this would all end up fine. Nobody cares now.😓 USA NATO is the rebellion of the people who are fed up with the thief and dishonest rulers they trust.
