AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-15418, organizations should immediately apply the official patch identified by commit 4e913d21f2c032b187815f063dbab5ebe65fe83a to all affected Open5GS versions (2.7.0 through 2.7.6). Beyond patching, it is critical to enforce strict network segmentation and access controls to limit local access to Open5GS components, reducing the risk of local exploitation. Monitoring and logging of GTPv2 traffic should be enhanced to detect anomalous Bearer QoS IE length values or malformed packets indicative of exploitation attempts. Implementing intrusion detection systems (IDS) with signatures targeting this vulnerability can provide early warning. Regular security audits and penetration testing should verify that local access controls are effective and that no unauthorized users can reach vulnerable components. Additionally, organizations should maintain an incident response plan to quickly address any denial of service incidents affecting 5G core infrastructure. Finally, staying informed about updates from Open5GS and the broader security community will ensure timely response to any emerging threats related to this vulnerability.

Description

A security flaw has been discovered in Open5GS up to 2.7.6. Affected by this vulnerability is the function ogs_gtp2_parse_bearer_qos in the library lib/gtp/v2/types.c of the component Bearer QoS IE Length Handler. Performing a manipulation results in denial of service. The attack must be initiated from a local position. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The patch is named 4e913d21f2c032b187815f063dbab5ebe65fe83a. To fix this issue, it is recommended to deploy a patch.
