Summary
An uninitialized pointer dereference in the ngap_handle_pdu_session_resource_setup_response routine of OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (oai-cn5g-amf) up to v2.0.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted PDU Session Resource Setup Response.
Risk Assessment
The risk is that an attacker can remotely crash the AMF system, disrupting 5G network operations and potentially preventing user session handling.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately upgrade oai-cn5g-amf to a version later than 2.0.0, which includes a fix for the uninitialized pointer issue.
Other vulnerabilities in OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF
See all- CVE-2025-66786High
OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF up to version 2.0.1 has a logical error when processing JSON format requests. Unauthorized remote attackers can send malicious JSON data to the AMF's SBI interface to launch a denial-of-service attack.
- CVE-2025-65805High
OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF up to version 2.1.9 has a buffer overflow vulnerability in processing NAS messages. Unauthorized remote attackers can launch a denial-of-service attack and potentially execute malicious code by sending an imsi string longer than 1000 to port N1.
- CVE-2024-24451High
A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the sctp_server::sctp_receiver_thread component of OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (oai-cn5g-amf) up to version 2.0.0. An attacker can repeatedly establish SCTP connections over the N2 interface, causing a system crash.
- CVE-2024-24445Medium
A null dereference vulnerability in OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (oai-cn5g-amf) version 2.0.0 and earlier occurs when handling unsupported NGAP protocol messages. An attacker with network-adjacent access can trigger a denial of service.
- CVE-2024-24444High
In OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF up to version 2.0.0, improper file descriptor handling for closed connections was found. An attacker can repeatedly establish SCTP connections via the N2 interface, leading to resource exhaustion and Denial of Service (DoS).
- CVE-2024-24442High
A NULL pointer dereference in the ngap_app::handle_receive routine of OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (oai-cn5g-amf) up to v2.0.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted NGAP message.
