AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a NULL pointer dereference in the ngap_app::handle_receive function of OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (oai-cn5g-amf) versions up to 2.0.0. An attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted NGAP message, causing the application to crash and resulting in a Denial of Service condition. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-476 (NULL Pointer Dereference) and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5, indicating high severity. There is no vendor advisory or patch information currently available, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition, disrupting the availability of the affected OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF service. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity impact. The DoS can be triggered remotely without authentication by sending a crafted NGAP message.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider implementing network-level protections to limit exposure to untrusted NGAP messages. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding patches or mitigations.
