Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Linux Foundation Magma up to 1.8.0. This issue affects some unknown functionality of the component Base Station Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a assertion vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-617. The product contains an assert() or similar statement that can be triggered by an attacker, which leads to an application exit or other behavior that is more severe than necessary. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

Magma versions <= 1.8.0 (fixed in v1.9 commit 08472ba98b8321f802e95f5622fa90fec2dea486) are susceptible to an assertion-based crash when an oversized NAS packet is received. An attacker may leverage this behavior to repeatedly crash the MME via either a compromised base station or via an unauthenticated cellphone within range of a base station managed by the MME, causing a denial of service.

The advisory is shared at cellularsecurity.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2023-37029 since 06/28/2023. No form of authentication is needed for a successful exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available.
