Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Ella Core panics when processing a malformed NGAP LocationReport message with `ue-presence-in-area-of-interest` event type and omitting the optional `UEPresenceInAreaOfInterestList` IE.
## Impact
An attacker able to send crafted NGAP messages to Ella Core can crash the process, causing service disruption for all connected subscribers. No authentication is required.
## Fix
Added IE presence verification to NGAP message handling.
