CVE-2024-24451: n/a
A stack overflow in the sctp_server::sctp_receiver_thread component of OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (oai-cn5g-amf) up to v2.0.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by repeatedly establishing SCTP connections with the N2 interface.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2024-24451 is a stack overflow vulnerability in the sctp_server::sctp_receiver_thread component of OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (oai-cn5g-amf) affecting versions up to 2.0.0. An attacker can exploit this by repeatedly establishing SCTP connections with the N2 interface, resulting in a Denial of Service condition. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-120 (Classic Buffer Overflow). No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation causes a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing or destabilizing the affected component due to a stack overflow. There is no indication of confidentiality or integrity impact. The attack requires network access to the N2 interface and does not require privileges or user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, consider limiting access to the N2 interface to trusted entities only and monitor for unusual SCTP connection attempts to reduce risk.
