A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Open5GS versions prior to 2.7.7. The issue arises in the Policy Control Function (PCF) component, specifically within the 'flow_rx_to_gx()' function of the 'lib/proto/types.c' file. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely, causing a crash by triggering an assertion failure. The problem stems from a parser and business logic mismatch, where malformed flow descriptions are not properly handled, leading to a process restart.
