Daemon crash via invalid PFCP PDN type
Published Apr 22, 2025 · Updated Apr 23, 2025
Reachable assertion in Open5GS UPF 2.7.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash the daemon via a crafted PFCP request. The upf_sess_set_ue_ip path leaves session_type invalid for PDN Type 0 and reaches a fatal assertion instead of rejecting the request. Access to the UPF PFCP service on UDP port 8805 is sufficient; exploitation terminates open5gs-upfd and interrupts user-plane service.
