CVE-2024-25009

System restart via improper AMF input validation

Published Aug 20, 2024 · Updated Aug 20, 2024

Improper input validation in Ericsson Packet Core Controller before 1.33 allows attackers on an adjacent network to restart the system. Ericsson has not published the input field or validation error inside the Access and Mobility Management Function that triggers the restart. Exploitation requires adjacent-network reachability but no privileges or user interaction, and the reported consequence is availability loss rather than data exposure or modification.
