Remote service crash via unchecked PFCP TEID
Published Jun 18, 2025 · Updated Jun 20, 2025
Improper input validation in Open5GS UPF 2.7.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash the service with a crafted PFCP request. The PFCP restoration path fails to validate a zero or out-of-range TEID before ogs_pfcp_pdr_swap_teid enforces its range assertion and aborts open5gs-upfd in lib/pfcp/context.c. The attacker must reach the UPF PFCP listener and establish a PFCP association; one malicious session request terminates the daemon.
