UPF crash via unchecked deleted session lookup
Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026
Denial of service in Free5GC 4.2.2 allows remote attackers to crash the UPF via a stale PFCP Session Report Response. LocalNode.RemoteSess iterates over session slots and reads RemoteID without checking whether a slot was cleared to nil after session deletion. Exploitation requires a response tied to a locally deleted session; the resulting panic interrupts user-plane service.
