a cryptographic vulnerability in the SUCI decryption routines
of Open5GS 5G—specifically Profile B, which uses P-256 (secp256r1)
for its elliptic curve routines.
If a mobile device user passes a public key within its SUCI
that does not correspond to a valid point on the P-256 elliptic curve,
the Open5GS UDM will not check the point
before running elliptic curve operations with it and returning a response
to the mobile device user.
If the public key is not checked to be a valid point, an attacker can leverage
this behavior to extract the Profile B private key from the UDM,
as has been done in other domains
(https://owasp.org/www-pdf-archive/Practical_Invalid_Curve_Attacks_on_TLS-ECDH_-_Juraj_Somorovsky.pdf).
Note that Profile A is not similarly vulnerable to this, as it is impossible
to construct an invalid point on a curve25519 elliptic curve.
There was some work that went into developing a practical proof of concept
of this kind of attack against free5gc last year; it can be found here:
https://www.gsma.com/security/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/0073-invalid_curve.pdf
And here is the free5gc security advisory:
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-cqvv-r3g3-26rf
To mitigate this issue in Open5GS, the public key of the UE must be validated
by the UDM prior to use. Adding a validation function such as the following
should work:
I designed this code based on information from https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/90151/verify-that-a-point-belongs-to-secp256r1.
'node_timeout' and some other functions can remove a smf_sess_t
while that session is still waiting for a PFCP reply
and has an active PFCP xact.
In this case, xact->data points to the deleted session
and xact's timeout function (sess_5gc_timeout for example)
eventually refers to this already freed session.
This fix prevents duplicate deletes from occurring by checking to see
if the session context has already been deleted when the timeout occurs.
Additionally, it moves session deletions out of timer callbacks into
state machine by reselect_upf().
Due to the way 'ogs_timer_mgr_expire' calls timer callbacks,
one must not stop or expire timers from within a timer callback.
And now one must not remove sessions from within a timer callback.
If eg. PCRF or AAA diameter link is not yet ready (eg. PCRF crashed), and
a client sends a CreateSessionRequest announcing its ow F-TEID,
then open5gs-smfd answers with Create Session Response Cause=
"Remote peer not responding", but it is not setting the received F-TEID
in the header of the response, instead it sends with TEI=0.
As a result, the peer cannot match the CreateSessionResponse, and needs
to rely on its own timeout timer to figure out that specific request failed.
This also happens in PFCP, so to solve this problem, I added teid/seid_presence
to the interface that sends the error message as shown below.
void ogs_gtp2_send_error_message(ogs_gtp_xact_t *xact,
int teid_presence, uint32_t teid, uint8_t type, uint8_t cause_value);
void ogs_pfcp_send_error_message(
ogs_pfcp_xact_t *xact, int seid_presence, uint64_t seid, uint8_t type,
uint8_t cause_value, uint16_t offending_ie_value);
When we try to send an SBI message to SMF to release a session,
sometimes ran_ue is NULL. This happens when the Mobile Reachable Timer expires
and Implicit Deregistration is triggered.
To account for this case, we added the `ran_ue` parameter to the SBI interface
and made it work even if it is NULL.
This AVP is optional and was added in later releases of the 3GPP TS
32.299 spec. For instance, it shows up in Release 16 (V16.2.0), but
doesn't show up in Release 12 (V12.7.0).
Some OCS, like PortaOne OCS, implement older versions of the release
(V12.14.0), and hence fail when receiving the 3GPP-RAT-Type inside
Multiple-Services-Credit-Control AVP.
Since nowadays we also send the 3GPP-RAT-Type in PS-Information AVP,
which has been specified for longer time (it already shows up in
V12.7.0), drop it from Multiple-Services-Credit-Control to have greater
compatibility with other vendors.

This happens for instance when the session is terminated due to a
rejection coming from the OCS, hence no originating GTP xact producing
the tear down.
The xact may well be NULL, eg. when tearin down the session
(send_ccr_termination_req_gx_gy_s6b()) because OCS rejected an update:
Hence there's no GTP xact originating the tear down, aka e->gtp-xact
passed to the function is NULL.
smf_gx_send_ccr() is already handling this case properly, contrary to smf_gf_send_ccr().
When building the MIME Multipart Media Encapsulation format
within an SBI message in the NF of a third-party product,
Open5GS does not parse properly if it contains a Preamble CRLF.
For example,
```
TCP/HTTP2
Stream: Data, Stream ID: 1, Length 841
MIME Multipart Media Encapsulation, Type: multipart/related, Boundary: "gc0pJq08jU534c"
--->Preamble: 0d0a
First boundary: --gc0pJq08jU534c\r\n
Encapsulated multipart part: (application/json)

Encapsulated multipart part: (application/vnd.3gpp.5gnas)
Boundary: \r\n--gc0pJq08jU534c\r\n
Encapsulated multipart part: (application/vnd.3gpp.ngap)

Assume the UE has Attached, the session has been created,
and is in the IDLE state with the UEContextRelease process.
This could result in the following call flow.
1. TAU request without Integrity Protected
2. Authentication request/response
3. Security-mode command/complete
MME can be performed simultaneously by the HSS(S6A) and UE(S1AP).
Update-Location-Request
Service request
Service reject
Delete Session Request
Delete Session Response
Update-Location-Answer
UEContextReleaseCommand for Service reject
TAU reject
UEContextReleaseCommand for TAU reject
UEContextReleaseComplete
UEContextReleaseComplete
MME crashes when UE sends a service request(S1AP) during ULR/ULA(S6A) with HSS,
which has been fixed.
Transaction Identity doesn't map 1-to-1 with Procedure Transaction
Identity: The value ranges change, and PTI cannot use value 0 8which
means unused).
Hence, for now let's simply set the PTI to a valid default value instead
of asserting during mme_sess_add:
Assertion `pti != OGS_NAS_PROCEDURE_TRANSACTION_IDENTITY_UNASSIGNED'

For bi-directions, the rules are created in the same form as for downlink
as shown below, so to apply them for uplink, we need to swap the rules
according to the interface.

GX : permit out from <P-CSCF_RTP_IP> <P-CSCF_RTP_PORT> to <UE_IP> <UE_PORT>

APER encoding fails when using the asn_uint642INTEGER function on a 32-bit machine as shown below.
```C
asn_uint642INTEGER(AMF_UE_NGAP_ID, 0xffffffff);
...
aper_encode_to_buffer(...)
```
INTEGER APER encode/decode functions seem to be operating internally with long variables instead of intmax_t.
That is probably the reason of the failure.
@v0-e fixed this issues in the mouse07410/asn1c pull request.
https://github.com/mouse07410/asn1c/pull/176https://github.com/mouse07410/asn1c/pull/177
When there is no MME-UE Context, going to cleanup without setting
s6a_message could cause a segmentation fault.
We fixed the problem by moving the location of setting s6a_message
to before cleanup.
The UPF is sending Session Report Request after the Session was Deleted,
when the Gy interface is active.
UPF is sending PFCP session report request after the session has been deleted
when the Gy interface is active. This is because some of the timers related to
the report are not deleted when the session is deleted.
We have fixed it to delete all the timers in the session
when the SESSION is deleted.
Problems with Purge-UE-Request/Answer can occur in the following situations
1. Attach Request
2. Authentication request
3. Authentication reject
4. UEContextReleaseCommand
5. UEContextReleaseComplete
6. Purge-UE-Request
7. Attach Request
8. Purge-UE-Answer
9. (UE Context Remove)
To resolve this issue, we have changed to delete the UE-Context
via mme_ue_remove() immediately upon receiving UEContextReleaseComplete()
without calling mme_s6a_send_pur().
1. Reachable assertion in ogs_nas_5gmm_decode
Location: lib/nas/5gs/decoder.c:4445
```c
int ogs_nas_5gmm_decode(ogs_nas_5gs_message_t *message, ogs_pkbuf_t *pkbuf)
{
int size = 0;
int decoded = 0;
ogs_assert(pkbuf);
ogs_assert(pkbuf->data);
ogs_assert(pkbuf->len);
```
When a NAS payload is received over `src/amf/context.c:1675`NGAP that has no data, the ogs_assert(pkbuf->len) assertion will be triggered.
2.Reachable assertion in ogs_nas_emm_decode
```
int ogs_nas_emm_decode(ogs_nas_eps_message_t *message, ogs_pkbuf_t *pkbuf)
{
int size = 0;
int decoded = 0;
ogs_assert(pkbuf);
ogs_assert(pkbuf->data);
ogs_assert(pkbuf->len);
```
Nearly identical to (1), but for LTE.
3. Reachable assertion in nas_eps_send_emm_to_esm
```
int nas_eps_send_emm_to_esm(mme_ue_t *mme_ue,
ogs_nas_esm_message_container_t *esm_message_container)
{
int rv;
ogs_pkbuf_t *esmbuf = NULL;
if (!mme_ue_cycle(mme_ue)) {
ogs_error("UE(mme-ue) context has already been removed");
return OGS_NOTFOUND;
}
ogs_assert(esm_message_container);
ogs_assert(esm_message_container->length);
```
The ESM message payload may be 0-length, as the length is determined by a field in the NAS payload (which can be chosen arbitrarily by an attacker). This leads to the length assertion above being triggered.
5. Reachable assertion and incorrect hash calculation in ogs_kdf_hash_mme
```
void ogs_kdf_hash_mme(const uint8_t *message, uint8_t message_len, uint8_t *hash_mme)
{
uint8_t key[32];
uint8_t output[OGS_SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE];
ogs_assert(message);
ogs_assert(message_len);
ogs_assert(hash_mme);
memset(key, 0, 32);
ogs_hmac_sha256(key, 32, message, message_len,
output, OGS_SHA256_DIGEST_SIZE);
memcpy(hash_mme, output+24, OGS_HASH_MME_LEN);
}
```
When handling NAS attach requests or TAU requests, the ogs_kdf_hash_mme function is passed the NAS payload. However, the length field is represented as an unsigned 8-bit integer, which the passed length of the packet may overflow. This leads to the passed value being truncated.
When the passed value is a multiple of 256, the above assertion (ogs_assert(message_len)) is triggered. Otherwise, the hash is computed on only the first n bits of the message (where n = actual_message_len % 256).
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.
Because a race condition can occur between S6A Diameter and S1AP message,
the following error handling code has been added.
1. InitialUEMessage + Attach Request + PDN Connectivity request
2. Authentication-Information-Request/Authentication-Information-Answer
3. Authentication Request/Response
4. Security-mode command/complete
5. Update-Location-Request/Update-Location-Answer
6. Detach request/accept
In the ULR/ULA process in step 6, the PDN Connectivity request is
pushed to the queue as an ESM_MESSAGE because the NAS-Type is still
an Attach Request.
See the code below in 'mme-s6a-handler.c' for where the queue is pushed.
if (mme_ue->nas_eps.type == MME_EPS_TYPE_ATTACH_REQUEST) {
rv = nas_eps_send_emm_to_esm(mme_ue,
&mme_ue->pdn_connectivity_request);
if (rv != OGS_OK) {
ogs_error("nas_eps_send_emm_to_esm() failed");
return OGS_NAS_EMM_CAUSE_PROTOCOL_ERROR_UNSPECIFIED;
}
} else if (mme_ue->nas_eps.type == MME_EPS_TYPE_TAU_REQUEST) {
r = nas_eps_send_tau_accept(mme_ue,
S1AP_ProcedureCode_id_InitialContextSetup);
ogs_expect(r == OGS_OK);
ogs_assert(r != OGS_ERROR);
} else {
ogs_error("Invalid Type[%d]", mme_ue->nas_eps.type);
return OGS_NAS_EMM_CAUSE_PROTOCOL_ERROR_UNSPECIFIED;
}
If you perform step 7 Detach request/accept here,
the NAS-Type becomes Detach Request and the EMM state changes
to emm_state_de_registered().
Since the PDN, which is an ESM message that was previously queued,
should not be processed in de_registered, the message is ignored
through error handling below.
Otherwise, MME will crash because there is no active bearer
in the initial_context_setup_request build process.
See the code below in 's1ap-build.c' for where the crash occurs.
ogs_list_for_each(&mme_ue->sess_list, sess) {
ogs_list_for_each(&sess->bearer_list, bearer) {
...
if (mme_ue->nas_eps.type == MME_EPS_TYPE_ATTACH_REQUEST) {
} else if (OGS_FSM_CHECK(&bearer->sm, esm_state_inactive)) {
ogs_warn("No active EPS bearer [%d]", bearer->ebi);
ogs_warn(" IMSI[%s] NAS-EPS Type[%d] "
"ENB_UE_S1AP_ID[%d] MME_UE_S1AP_ID[%d]",
mme_ue->imsi_bcd, mme_ue->nas_eps.type,
enb_ue->enb_ue_s1ap_id, enb_ue->mme_ue_s1ap_id);
continue;
}
...
}
}
As mentioned in the sgwu.yaml configuration file, it is possible to configure multiple addresses with different source_interface values for the gtpu interface.
Following the this section, I defined two addresses, one with source_interface set to 0 and another with source_interface set to 1. My expectation was to see different addresses for the two PDRs in the Session Establishment Response message during session establishment. However, both addresses were the same, and it was the address I had set for source_interface = 0.
When I looked into the code, I found the reason for the issue. In the lib/pfcp/context.c file, on line 1185, the function that determines the address is called as follows:
...
} else {
ogs_gtpu_resource_t *resource = NULL;
resource = ogs_pfcp_find_gtpu_resource(
&ogs_gtp_self()->gtpu_resource_list,
pdr->dnn, OGS_PFCP_INTERFACE_ACCESS);
if (resource) {
...
In the last parameter of this function, a constant value, OGS_PFCP_INTERFACE_ACCESS, is used. This causes every PDR with any source_interface to be considered as "access," and the value 0 is used for its interface.
I replaced the value with pdr->src_if, and the bug was resolved.
A race condition can occur in the following situations.
In conclusion, we can use this situation to determine
whether or not the UE Context has been removed and avoiding a crash.
For example, suppose a UE Context is removed in the followings.
1. Attach Request
2. Authentication-Information-Request
3. Authentication-Information-Answer
4. Authentication Request
5. Authentication Response(MAC Failed)
6. Authentication Reject
7. UEContextReleaseCommand
8. UEContextReleaseComplete
The MME then sends a Purge-UE-request to the HSS and deletes
the UE context as soon as it receives a Purge-UE-Answer.
Suppose an Attach Request is received from the same UE
between Purge-UE-Request/Answer, then the MME and HSS start
the Authentication-Information-Request/Answer process.
This can lead to the following situations.
1. Purge-UE-Request
2. Attach Request
3. Authentication-Information-Request
4. Purge-UE-Answer
5. [UE Context Removed]
6. Authentication-Information-Answer
Since the UE Context has already been deleted
when the Authentication-Information-Answer is received,
it cannot be processed properly.
Therefore, mme_ue_cycle() is used to check
whether the UE Context has been deleted and
decide whether to process or
ignore the Authentication-Information-Answer as shown below.
