DescriptionCVE.org

A security vulnerability has been detected in Open5GS 2.8.0. Affected by this issue is the function hss_ogs_diam_s6a_air_cb of the file src/hss/hss-s6a-path.c of the component S6a Authentication-Information-Request Handler. Such manipulation of the argument Visited-PLMN-Id leads to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The name of the patch is a9c82ee0b590d76a581b0580cb46b598984e2392. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow in Open5GS 2.8.0's HSS S6a Authentication-Information-Request handler allows network-adjacent authenticated Diameter peers to corrupt process heap memory by supplying a malformed Visited-PLMN-Id AVP with an incorrect octet-string length. The vulnerable function hss_ogs_diam_s6a_air_cb in src/hss/hss-s6a-path.c passes raw AVP data to cryptographic key derivation (ogs_auc_kasme) without first validating that the PLMN identifier length matches the expected 3-byte constant OGS_PLMN_ID_LEN. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to establish a Diameter S6a connection to the HSS with low-privilege Diameter peer credentials (PR:L per the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector), which in practice means having network access to the EPC's internal signaling plane - typically not reachable from the public internet. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The supplied CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 with uniformly low impact metrics (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L) appears understated relative to a heap overflow in a core authentication component; the low score reflects the constrained deployment context rather than inherent exploitability - PR:L requires Diameter peer credentials, which are not publicly obtainable. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with access to the core network Diameter segment - such as a compromised MME, a rogue signaling node inserted via SS7/Diameter interconnect, or a malicious insider - establishes a Diameter S6a connection to the Open5GS HSS and sends a crafted Authentication-Information-Request containing a Visited-PLMN-Id AVP whose octet-string length exceeds the expected 3-byte `OGS_PLMN_ID_LEN`. The HSS processes the request without validating the AVP length, triggering a heap buffer overflow in `hss_ogs_diam_s6a_air_cb` when the oversized data propagates into `ogs_auc_kasme()`. …
Remediation Apply upstream fix commit a9c82ee0b590d76a581b0580cb46b598984e2392 from https://github.com/open5gs/open5gs/commit/a9c82ee0b590d76a581b0580cb46b598984e2392 - a specific tagged release version incorporating this commit is not independently confirmed from the available data, so operators should monitor the Open5GS GitHub repository for a formal release or apply the commit directly to their build. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
