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.
