DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in Free5GC 4.1.0. Affected is the function HandleRegistrationComplete of the file internal/gmm/handler.go of the component AMF. Executing a manipulation can lead to denial of service. The attack may be performed from remote. This patch is called 52e9386401ce56ea773c5aa587d4cdf7d53da799. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.

AnalysisAI

Free5GC 4.1.0's AMF component is susceptible to a denial of service attack in the HandleRegistrationComplete function that can be exploited remotely without authentication. An attacker can manipulate the registration process to crash or disable the affected service. A patch is available and should be applied to restore normal operation.

Technical ContextAI

Free5GC is an open-source implementation of the 3GPP 5G core network specification. The vulnerable code resides in the AMF (Access and Mobility Function) component, which handles Non-Access Stratum (NAS) protocol messages including registration procedures defined in 3GPP TS 24.501. The HandleRegistrationComplete function processes NAS messages during the final stage of device registration. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-404 (Improper Resource Validation), indicating insufficient validation or bounds checking of input parameters passed to this handler. The attack vector is network-based (CVSS:3.1/AV:N), meaning the vulnerable service is directly accessible over the network, consistent with 5G core network exposure.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-provided patch immediately by updating to the fixed version of the AMF component corresponding to commit 52e9386401ce56ea773c5aa587d4cdf7d53da799 or later from the Free5GC GitHub repository at https://github.com/free5gc/amf. This can be accomplished by pulling the latest main branch or a stable release tag that includes this commit fix. For organizations unable to patch immediately, implement network-level access controls restricting NAS protocol traffic to the AMF to trusted UE (User Equipment) sources and trusted network gateways. Additionally, configure monitoring and alerting on the AMF for abnormal NAS message patterns or registration procedure failures that may indicate exploitation attempts. Verify the patch installation by confirming the updated HandleRegistrationComplete function includes proper input validation before processing registration complete messages.
