Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect App: privilege escalation
Fix: upgrade to 6.3.3-h15 or later (3 fixed versions below)
Multiple local privilege escalation vulnerabilities in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect™ app allows a local user to escalate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on Windows and root on macOS and Linux.
