CVE-2026-9300: omec-project amf memory corruption in NGSetupRequest Handler

CVE-2026-9300 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.3 · Published 2026-05-23

The omec-project Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF), a core component of 5G mobile networks, is vulnerable to a memory corruption issue. An attacker can send specially crafted network registration requests to crash the service, potentially leading to a denial of service for mobile subscribers. This impact could disrupt connectivity and network operations for affected users.

Technical details

A memory corruption vulnerability exists in the omec-project AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) within the NGSetupRequest Handler and NAS conversion components. The flaw is triggered by improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer (CWE-119) when handling a RegistrationRequest with an invalid SUCI (Subscription Concealed Identifier) format. Specifically, the `nasConvert.SuciToString` function can encounter an out-of-bounds index error (e.g., index -1) when attempting to convert malformed MobileIdentity data. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a crafted InitialUEMessage, leading to a service panic and crash. The issue is addressed in version 1.7.1-0.20260421213846-34bc6724acc9 and later.
