We have an update for the treat with content update 457. Make sure you are running latest one (Device -> Dynamic Updates). Threat ID 36729 and default action is set to "Alert". You can change it to drop from Objects -> Vulnerability Protection -> Exceptions (check show signatures) and search for 36729 and change the action and commit. Hope this helps. Thank you.

Yes.  See this site for details regarding PAN-OS and the applicability of this bug against the firewall itself:

- Palo Alto Networks Product Vulnerability - Security Advisories

Content version 457 was released very early this morning, which addresses the firewall's ability to block these attacks:

Jeff,

Please note the following for our new Threat DB version 458, just released.

Also note that the default action is 'Alert' not 'Drop'.
