PaloAlto devices ARE “Linux Firewalls” https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/t5/general-topics/how-to-access-to-linux-mode-in-pa/td-p/64711 https://live.paloaltone

  They probably mean some Linux distro with no crapware on top. Seeing how this exploit seems to be PaltoAlto-specific stuff built on top of the basic OS, GP's approach sounds sensible enough.

    Yes. This is what I meant. A GNU/Linux iptables2 firewall.

      iptables2 == nftables I suppose

  They aren't exactly linux firewalls, even if they run linux as management OS. AFAIK the forwarding engine is custom(ized), and on physical devices some of them offload to FPGA - or at least they used to when I administrated some 2014~2016. The management UI was in PHP :P
