by a vulnerability.

  - 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.
    (CVE-2020-1995)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
