Summary

In the omec-project UPF (pfcpiface component) version upf-epc-pfcpiface:2.1.3-dev, there is a denial-of-service vulnerability. When the UPF receives a PFCP Session Report Response missing the mandatory Cause Information Element, the session report handler dereferences a nil pointer instead of rejecting the malformed message, causing a panic and terminating the UPF process.

Risk Assessment

An attacker who can send PFCP Session Report Response messages to the UPF's N4/PFCP endpoint can repeatedly crash the UPF, disrupting user-plane services.

Recommendation

Apply a patch or update the pfcpiface component to a version that properly handles missing Cause elements.
