An issue was discovered in Open5GS v2.7.2. When a UE switches between two gNBs and sends a handover request at a specific time, it may cause an exception in the AMF's internal state machine, leading to an AMF crash and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
A vulnerability was found in Open5GS up to 2.7.2. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is the function gmm_state_authentication of the file src/amf/gmm-sm.c of the component AMF. The manipulation leads to denial of service. The attack can be launched remotely. This vulnerability allows a single UE to crash the AMF, resulting in the complete loss of mobility and session management services and causing a network-wide outage. All registered UEs will lose connectivity, and new registrations will be blocked until the AMF is restarted, leading to a high availability impact. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The patch is named e31e9965f00d9c744a7f728497cb4f3e97744ee8. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.

Due to insufficient length validation in the Open5GS GTP library versions prior to versions 2.4.13 and 2.5.7, when parsing extension headers in GPRS tunneling protocol (GPTv1-U) messages, a protocol payload with any extension header length set to zero causes an infinite loop. The affected process becomes immediately unresponsive, resulting in denial of service and excessive resource consumption. CVSS3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C

The name of the patch is 724fa568435dae45ef0c3a48b2aabde052afae88. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier VDB-209545 was assigned to this vulnerability.
When Open5GS UPF receives a PFCP Session Establishment Request, it stores related values for building the PFCP Session Establishment Response. Once UPF receives a request, it gets the f_teid_len from incoming message, and then uses it to copy data from incoming message to struct f_teid without checking the maximum length. If the pdi.local_f_teid.len exceeds the maximum length of the struct of f_teid, the memcpy() overwrites the fields (e.g., f_teid_len) after f_teid in the pdr struct. After parsing the request, the UPF starts to build a response. The f_teid_len with its overwritten value is used as a length for memcpy(). A segmentation fault occurs, as a result of a memcpy(), if this overwritten value is large enough.
A buffer overflow in lib/sbi/message.c in Open5GS 2.3.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to Denial of Service via a crafted sbi request.
A null pointer dereference in src/amf/namf-handler.c in Open5GS 2.3.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to Denial of Service via a crafted sbi request to amf.
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the AMF of open5gs 2.1.4. When the length of MSIN in Supi exceeds 24 characters, it leads to AMF denial of service.
In Open5GS 2.4.0, a crafted packet from UE can crash SGW-U/UPF.
ogs_fqdn_parse in Open5GS 1.0.0 through 2.3.3 inappropriately trusts a client-supplied length value, leading to a buffer overflow. The attacker can send a PFCP Session Establishment Request with "internet" as the PDI Network Instance. The first character is interpreted as a length value to be used in a memcpy call. The destination buffer is only 100 bytes long on the stack. Then, 'i' gets interpreted as 105 bytes to copy from the source buffer to the destination buffer.
A request-validation issue was discovered in Open5GS 2.1.3 through 2.2.x before 2.2.1. The WebUI component allows an unauthenticated user to use a crafted HTTP API request to create, read, update, or delete entries in the subscriber database. For example, new administrative users can be added. The issue occurs because Express is not set up to require authentication.
Open5GS 2.1.3 listens on 0.0.0.0:3000 and has a default password of 1423 for the admin account.
