| Titel | Open5GS <=v2.7.5 Denail of Service |
|---|
| Beschreibung | A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Open5GS SMF (version v2.7.5 and earlier), caused by improper validation of SBI stream state under resource-constrained conditions during PDU session release.
This issue is triggered when the SMF operates under strict memory limits, and an HTTP/2 stream (used for SBI communication) has already been closed — for example, after receiving a RST_STREAM from a peer NF. Despite the stream being invalid, the SMF proceeds to process the event without checking the stream's state, leading to a fatal assertion failure in the function smf_state_operational().
Instead of handling the situation gracefully — by skipping the event or logging an error — the SMF crashes on the assertion assert(stream), resulting in termination of the entire SMF process, even though the failure is tied to a single UE context.
A remote attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability by simulating high churn (frequent PDU session releases) under load, triggering stream closures and causing the SMF to repeatedly crash.
