CVE-2026-8248 Details
Description
A vulnerability was detected in Open5GS up to 2.7.7. The affected element is the function update_authorized_pcc_rule_and_qos of the file /src/smf/npcf-handler.c of the component SMF. The manipulation results in denial of service. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.
A denial-of-service vulnerability has been identified in Open5GS versions through 2.7.7, specifically within the SMF component. The issue arises in the 'update_authorized_pcc_rule_and_qos' function, where the application crashes due to an assertion failure. This occurs when an 'sm-policy-notify' callback includes a 'preemptCap' value that is not recognized, leading the system to incorrectly assume the value was valid. As a result, the SMF process is aborted, causing a crash.
