Unauthenticated UPF crash via unchecked SDF length
Published Feb 23, 2026 · Updated Feb 23, 2026
Heap buffer overflow in free5GC go-upf before 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to crash the UPF via a malformed PFCP request. The newSdfFilter path passes the SDF Filter IE to SDFFilterFields.UnmarshalBinary without checking that FDLength fits the available payload. No credentials or user interaction are required, but PFCP reachability and a valid session context are needed; successful exploitation terminates UPF service and its active sessions.
