AI Analysis

Impact

Open5GS v2.7.7 contains a buffer overflow in the ogs_sbi_time_parse() function, which is invoked when handling robustly formatted time stamps in the Open5GS SBI protocol. A crafted input string can cause the parsing routine to write beyond the bounds of its buffer and trigger a segmentation fault, terminating the SBI service and causing a disruption of control plane traffic. This vulnerability is a classic memory corruption flaw that leads to a denial of service and can be triggered remotely with no authentication. The CVE entry cites GitHub and issue trackers that demonstrate successful exploitation causing a crash in a live environment.

Affected Systems

Open5GS v2.7.7 is the affected version. No other releases have confirmed exploitation.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is <1% and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this represents a high impact for service availability. A remote attacker can trigger the bug by sending a specially crafted request to an open SBI endpoint; no privileged access is required. The nature of the crash implies a significant risk to availability, and the high severity suggests a priority to remediate in a production environment that relies on Open5GS for core network functions.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Open5GS to a patched release that includes a safe bounds‑check in ogs_sbi_time_parse()
  • Configure ingress controls or firewall rules to restrict which nodes can issue SBI time‑stamp requests, limiting exposure to trusted entities
  • Set up monitoring of Open5GS service logs to detect SIGSEGV crashes or abnormal restarts and implement automated restarts or failover
