Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Foundation Magma up to 1.8.0. Affected is the function decode_protocol_configuration_options of the file /3gpp/3gpp_24.008_sm_ies.c of the component NAS Packet Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:
