Remote service crash via stale UE context
Published Jun 10, 2025 · Updated Jun 10, 2025
Denial of service in Open5GS 2.7.0 through 2.7.3 allows remote attackers to crash the AMF or MME via crafted registration traffic. A handover sequence and duplicate IMSI registration leave a stale RAN UE identifier; common_register_state asserts when its context lookup returns NULL. Reaching the fault requires gNB access and coordinated UE registration activity, and the fatal assertion terminates the affected core service.
