Palo Alto Networks is aware of claims of multiple vulnerabilities in hardware device firmware and bootloaders included in our PA-Series (hardware) firewalls. It is not possible for malicious actors or PAN-OS administrators to exploit these vulnerabilities under normal conditions on PAN-OS versions with up-to-date, secured management interfaces deployed according to the best practices guidelines . Users and administrators do not have access to the BIOS firmware or permissions to modify it. An attacker would need to first compromise the system and then get the root Linux privileges necessary to perform these actions before they could exploit these vulnerabilities.

CVE-2023-45231 [MEDIUM] CWE-125 edk2: Out of Bounds read when handling a ND Redirect message with truncated options
edk2: Out of Bounds read when handling a ND Redirect message with truncated options
EDK2's Network Package is susceptible to an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability when processing Neighbor Discovery Redirect message. This
vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized
access and potentially lead to a loss of Confidentiality.
A security loophole involving an out-of-bounds read was identified in EDK2, the open-source reference implementation of the UEFI specification. This vulnerability enables an unauthorized attacker within the vicinity of the network to transmit a specifically crafted Neighbor Discovery Redirect message. Consequently, this may lead to the unauthorized reading of memory beyond the message boundaries, potentially resulting in the exposure of sensitive inf

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
