CVE-2026-104598: libosmo-sigtran out-of-bounds read in M3UA NOTIFY decoder

CVE-2026-104598 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-26

libosmo-sigtran is a signaling protocol library used in telecommunications systems to handle network routing and management messages. An out-of-bounds memory read vulnerability in the M3UA NOTIFY message decoder could allow a remote attacker to read sensitive data from the application's memory. The vulnerability exists because the code did not properly validate that notification strings were null-terminated before copying them.

Vendors: Osmocom.

Technical details

The M3UA NOTIFY decoder in src/m3ua.c performs an unsafe memory copy of an INFO String IE (Information Element) without ensuring null termination, leading to an out-of-bounds read. The decoder is reachable by any remote peer sending a crafted M3UA NOTIFY message over the network. An attacker can leak sensitive information from adjacent memory by sending messages with improperly terminated strings.

Affected products

  • osmocom libosmo-sigtran through 2.2.1
