A friend in the community was trying to connect an SMF made by another
manufacturer with an SBI interface and found a big problem with Open5GS.
All of the code in the part that generates the Resource URI
from HTTP.location is invalid.
For example, suppose we create a Resource URI with SMContext as below.
{apiRoot}/nsmf-pdusession/<apiVersion>/sm-contexts/{smContextRef}
In this case, Open5GS extracted the {smContextRef} part of the HTTP.location
and appended it to the beginning
{apiRoot}/nsmf-pdusession/<apiVersion>/sm-contexts/.
This implementation may not work properly if the apiRoot changes.
Consider a different port number as shown below.
<HTTP.location>
127.0.0.4:9999/nsmf-pdusession/v1/sm-contexts/1
The SMF may send an apiRoot to the AMF with a changed port number,
in which case the AMF must honor it.
Therefore, instead of extracting only the smContextRef from HTTP.location,
we modified it to use the whole thing to create a Resource URI.
We modified all NFs that use HTTP.location in the same way, not just SMFs.
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.
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)
[AMF] Implicit Network-initiated Deregistration
Two timers are introduced (both with duration of T3512 + 4 min):
-MOBILE_REACHABLE
-IMPLICIT_DEREGISTRATION
MOBILE_REACHABLE is set when NAS connection for the UE is released.
IMPLICIT_DEREGISTRATION is set when MOBILE_REACHABLE expires.
On MOBILE_REACHABLE expiry Paging is ignored.
On IMPLICIT_DEREGISTRATION expiry:
-UE's RM_State is set to DEREGISTERED
-UE is Nudm_SDM_Unsubscribed
-UE is Nudm_UECM_Deregistered
-PDU sessions are released
-AM policies are deleted
Existing flag amf_ue->network_initiated_de_reg is used.
AMF subscribes to UDM for each registered UE.
At the moment, UDM does not send callback to AMF when any of the UE's
properties in the database changes.
At the moment, AMF does properly parse the ModificationNotification, but
does not do anything useful.
If parameter.ignore_requsted_nssai is true,
AMF will ignore the UE Requested NSSAI and create an allowed-NSSAI
based on the Default S-NSSAI in the Subscription DB.
AMF checks whether it can serve all the S-NSSAI(s) from
the Requested NSSAI present in the Subscribed S-NSSAIs
(potentially using configuration for mapping S-NSSAI values
between HPLMN and Serving PLMN), or all the S-NSSAI(s) marked
as default in the Subscribed S-NSSAIs in the case that
no Requested NSSAI was provided or none of the S-NSSAIs
in the Requested NSSAI are permitted,
i.e. do not match any of the Subscribed S-NSSAIs or not available
at the current UE's Tracking Area (see clause 5.15.3).
o Tester
1. UE registered to 5GS and can connect to internet.
2. Turn off the UE and turn on the UE immediately
3. UE send PDU session request message
without sending registration complete
o Analysis Result
1. UE sends registration request with unknown GUTI
2. AMF send registration accept without GUTI
3. UE skips the registration complete
So, we need the handler UL NAS Transport in this state.
