CVE-2026-7587Public exploitNetwork attack vector

AMF crash via mismatched SMF response

Published May 1, 2026 · Updated May 1, 2026

Denial of service in Open5GS AMF 2.7.0 through 2.7.7 allows remote authenticated users to crash the AMF via a crafted SMF response. amf_nsmf_pdusession_handle_update_sm_context treats PDU_RES_SETUP_REQ in an unexpected transaction state as unreachable and invokes a fatal assertion instead of rejecting it. Exploitation requires control of an SMF peer and an active PDU-session transaction; the resulting process exit interrupts AMF service.
