In InitialUEMessage, send a NAS message with a message type
other than Registration Request, Deregistration Request, or Service Request,
the following messages from UE will not be accepted.
We found this issue in not only the initial state but multiple states.
We believe if an attacker has the ability to inject a NAS message to the core,
it can perform a DoS attack on the victim UE.
So, I've fixed that The MME/AMF deletes MME_UE_S1AP_ID/AMF_UE_NGAP_ID,
and will not accept any following messages from the UE.
The AMF will crash on the following locations when it receives a sequence
of NAS messages from a UE.
- ogs_nas_encrypt: Assertion `pkbuf->len' failed. (../lib/nas/common/security.c:86)
- gmm_state_authentication: Assertion `r != OGS_ERROR' failed. (../src/amf/gmm-sm.c:1561)
Besides the crashes found above, an incorrect protocol transition
is identified in Open5GS. Without any Registration/Attach Request message,
when the Identity Response message sent, the Core Network responds
with an Authentication Request message. According to the standard,
only the Registration/Attach Request message can start a state transition
from the 5GMM/EMM-DEREGISTERED state to the 5GMM/EMM-COMMON-PROCEDURE-INITIATED.
So I've modified the relevant code to address these issues.
1. HandoverRequired
2. HandoverRequest
3. HandoverFailure
4. UEContextReleaseCommand
5. HandoverPreparationFailure
If UEContextReleaseComplete is not received,
the Source-UE will have the Target-UE.
6. HandoverRequired
There may be cases where the Source UE has a Target UE
from a previous HandoverRequired process. In this case,
it is recommended to force the deletion of the Target UE information
when receiving a new HandoverRequired.
7. HandoverRequest
8. HandoverFailure
9. UEContextReleaseCommand
10. UEContextReleaseComplete
11. HandoverPreparationFailure

There is an issue with SESSION RELEASE not working properly
depending on the PDU session release complete order
in the PDUSessionResourceReleaseResponse.
If the AMF receives PDUSessionResourceReleaseResponse
followed by PDU session release complete, it works correctly.
However, if it receives PDU session release complete
followed by PDUSessionResourceReleaseResponse, it does not work correctly
and sends an Error Indication to the UE/gNB.
To fix this issue, we added pdu_session_release_complete_received and
pdu_session_resource_release_response_received to the content
so that CLEAR_SM_CONTEXT_REF() is executed when both are received.
While they were continuing their fuzzy testing and developing PacketRusher, an unusual issue with the AMF was observed. The problem arises when a single Ethernet frame containing three bundled SCTP chunks is sent. This behavior is reproduced with PacketRusher when attempting to concurrently register two UEs with the same MSIN.
The expected behavior is that the PDU Session Establishment Accept is sent inside a DownlinkNASTransport to RAN UE NGAP ID 1. However, it is actually sent inside an InitialContextSetupRequest to RAN UE NGAP ID 2. The MAC of this NAS message is invalid for the Security Context of RAN UE NGAP ID 2 (probably valid for RAN UE NGAP ID 1)
I've resolved an issue where sending continuous
'PDU Session Release Request' message to the same session,
when more than two sessions were created, was causing an SMF crash.
For your reference, this problem did not occur
when only one session was created.
* [AMF/MME] UEContextReleaseCommand in Integrity (#2786)
Modified not to send UEContextReleaseCommand in Integrity Unprotected
NAS message such like Registration or Service request.
* [AMF/MME] UEContextReleaseCommand after Interity Protected (#2786)
Modified not to send UEContextReleaseCommand in Integrity Unprotected
NAS message such like Registration or Service request.
amf_ue->mac_failed flag to be cleared during security mode procedure but it was not.
At this point, the only way to cleare the amf_ue->mac_failed flag is by UE Context Release.
But I'd like to connect UEs as fast as possible without UE Context Release.
Other NF instances are obtained through NRF
or created directly through configuration files.
Other NFs created by the config file should not be passed
through NRF discovery or anything like that.
Since self-created NF Instances do not have an ID,
they are implemented to exclude them from NRF Discovery.

During PDU Session Establishment,
if gNB sends PDUSessionResourceReleaseResponse,
AMF was crashed.
In this case, AMF/SMF remove Session Context and sends ErrorIndication.
Confirmation for non-cleartext IE should only be applied
to the initial NAS message. Registration requests and Service requests
with UplinkNASTransport do not have to.
1. If UE does not use a NAS container for Non-cleartext IEs,
Open5GS AMF will send Registration reject message.
2. If UE sends Non-cleartext IEs without Integrity-protected,
Open5GS AMF will send Registration reject message.
3. If UE does not send NAS container in Security mode complete message,
Open5GS AMF will send Registration reject message.
The AMF shall assign a new 5G-GUTI for a particular UE:
a) during a successful initial registration procedure;
b) during a successful registration procedure
for mobility registration update; and
c) after a successful service request procedure invoked as a response
to a paging request from the network and before the release
of the N1 NAS signalling connection as specified in subclause 5.4.4.1.
The AMF should assign a new 5G-GUTI for a particular UE
during a successful registration procedure
for periodic registration update. The AMF may assign a new 5G-GUTI
at any time for a particular UE by performing
the generic UE configuration update procedure.
If both Delete-Session-Request/Response and
UEContextReleaseCommand/UEContextReleaseComplete are failed at the same time,
UE cannot attach to the EPC infinitely.
So, I've add the protection code
if timer expires when MME does not receive Delete-Session-Response.
Previously, AMF would sends PDUSessionResourceSetupRequest
when the following conditions were met:
- gNB didn't send UE Context Request IE of InitialUEMessage
- AMF should send SMF generated TRANSFER message(PDU_RES_SETUP_REQ)
to the gNB
However, in issues #771, the gNB did not accept
PDUSessionResourceSetupRequest. Perhaps the gNB engineer thought
that if gNB needs to send data traffic to the UE, AMF should send
an InitialContextSetupRequest regardless of UE Context Request IE.
This is because gNB requires the kgNB security context
for data connection.
So, in this case, Open5GS-AMF decided to send
an InitialContexSetupRequest regardless of
whether it received UE Context Request IE of InitialUEMessage.
