Check whether you run Osmocom Osmo-Ggsn or Osmocom Osmo-Sgsn at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

Technical details

The gtp_decode_pdp_ctx() function in osmo-ggsn and osmo-sgsn's libgtp library fails to validate GSN-Address sub-field lengths against the 16-byte destination buffer before performing memcpy(), allowing lengths up to 255 bytes from the wire to overflow the fixed array. The vulnerability is exploitable over the Gn/Gp interface by a malicious or spoofed peer GSN through SGSN Context Response or Forward Relocation messages. A fix validating lengths against destination capacity is available.
