Authenticated memory corruption via oversized S6a AVP
Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Open5GS 2.7.0 through 2.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory via a Diameter S6a request. The hss_ogs_diam_s6a_air_cb and hss_ogs_diam_s6a_ulr_cb callbacks copy an attacker-controlled Visited-PLMN-Id length into a fixed-size stack object without bounding it. The sender must connect as a Diameter peer and target an existing subscriber; the public packet capture demonstrates stack corruption, while further code execution is not established.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
