2DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in Open5GS up to 2.7.x. Affected is the function amf_nnrf_try_old_amf_discovery_fallback of the file src/amf/nnrf-handler.c of the component Old AMF Discovery Fallback. The manipulation of the argument discovery_option results in use after free. The attack may be performed from remote. The patch is identified as ddd683a35f8aaac2b7b9884a24cd53bddfc65238. Applying a patch is advised to resolve this issue.
AnalysisAI
Use-after-free in Open5GS AMF component versions 2.0.x through 2.7.x allows network-reachable attackers to corrupt memory in the Access and Mobility Management Function process by triggering the old AMF discovery fallback handler with a crafted interaction. The root cause is premature deallocation of the SBI transaction structure (ogs_sbi_xact_remove) before the discovery_option argument derived from that structure is fully consumed; the fix relocates the free call past all dependent uses. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) network access to the AMF's SBI (Service Based Interface) port, which is an HTTP/2 interface typically confined to the operator's internal 5G core network and not exposed to the public internet or end-user devices; (2) ability to induce or simulate a failed NRF-based AMF discovery, triggering the `amf_nnrf_handle_failed_amf_discovery()` code path and specifically its old AMF fallback branch; (3) Open5GS version 2.0.x-2.7.x running the AMF function. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with score 6.9) rates all complexity and privilege metrics at their easiest values, which overstates ease of exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the upstream patch by upgrading to an Open5GS build that incorporates commit ddd683a35f8aaac2b7b9884a24cd53bddfc65238 (https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs/commit/ddd683a35f8aaac2b7b9884a24cd53bddfc65238). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
