| Title | Linux Foundation free5GC 4.2.0 Type Confusion |
|---|
| Description | free5GC accepts a non printable string where the specification says it should use Printable String for all PrintableString definition. For example NGSetupRequest -> RANNodeName. It is defined as a Printable String but it accepts non PrintableString. It confuses PrintableString as an OctetString. Potential attack vector to cause misbehavior. |
