CVE-2024-14042: Stack-based Buffer Overflow in Open5GS
A vulnerability was found in Open5GS up to 2.7.1. This affects the function hss_ogs_diam_s6a_air_cb/hss_ogs_diam_s6a_ulr_cb of the file src/hss/hss-s6a-path.c of the component Diameter S6a Interface. Performing a manipulation of the argument os.len results in stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. Upgrading to version 2.7.2 is able to mitigate this issue. The patch is named e89aa79efe629ae90f59dcdf8847c117d9a7da86. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Open5GS up to version 2.7.1 involves a stack-based buffer overflow in the functions hss_ogs_diam_s6a_air_cb and hss_ogs_diam_s6a_ulr_cb within the src/hss/hss-s6a-path.c file. The issue arises from manipulation of the os.len argument leading to memory corruption on the stack. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without user interaction and has a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3 (medium severity). A patch identified by commit e89aa79efe629ae90f59dcdf8847c117d9a7da86 is available in version 2.7.2.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can cause a stack-based buffer overflow, potentially leading to application crashes or arbitrary code execution within the context of the Open5GS process. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk. However, the CVSS score indicates medium severity with limited complexity and privileges required.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Open5GS to version 2.7.2 or later, which contains the official patch (commit e89aa79efe629ae90f59dcdf8847c117d9a7da86) addressing this vulnerability. No other mitigations are specified. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory information.
