A vulnerability was identified in Open5GS up to 2.7.5. This vulnerability affects the function sgwc_bearer_add of the file src/sgwc/context.c. The manipulation leads to reachable assertion. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The issue report is flagged as already-fixed.
Weakness
The product contains an assert() or similar statement that can be triggered by an attacker, which leads to an application exit or other behavior that is more severe than necessary.
Extended Description
While assertion is good for catching logic errors and reducing the chances of reaching more serious vulnerability conditions, it can still lead to a denial of service. For example, if a server handles multiple simultaneous connections, and an assert() occurs in one single connection that causes all other connections to be dropped, this is a reachable assertion that leads to a denial of service.
