CVE-2025-15419 — A weakness has been identified in Open5GS up to 2.7.6

Medium CVSS 5.5

A weakness has been identified in Open5GS up to 2.7.6. Affected by this issue is the function sgwc_s5c_handle_create_session_response of the file src/sgwc/s5c-handler.c of the component GTPv2-C Flow Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to denial of service. The attack needs to be launched locally. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. This patch is called 5aaa09907e7b9e0a326265a5f08d56f54280b5f2. It is advisable to implement a patch to correct this issue.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
