CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2025-8802 — A vulnerability was determined in Open5GS up to 2.7.5
A vulnerability was determined in Open5GS up to 2.7.5. This vulnerability affects the function smf_state_operational of the file src/smf/smf-sm.c of the component SMF. The manipulation of the argument stream leads to denial of service. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version v2.7.6 is able to address this issue. The patch is identified as f168f7586a4fa536cee95ae60ac437d997f15b97. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

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.
