SMF crash via Non-GBR QoS assertion
Published Apr 30, 2026 · Updated Apr 30, 2026
Improper input validation in Open5GS 2.7.3 allows remote attackers to crash the SMF via a crafted PDU Session Modification Request. The ngap_build_pdu_session_resource_modify_transfer function treats a Non-GBR QoS flow as GBR, requires absent MBR and GBR parameters, and aborts on a failed assertion. An unauthenticated UE with two established PDU sessions can trigger the failure, interrupting SMF service until it is restarted.
