Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go | github.com/ellanetworks/core | < 1.5.1 | 1.5.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
Ella Core panics when processing a PathSwitchRequest containing UE Security Capabilities with zero-length NR encryption or integrity protection algorithm bitstrings, resulting in a denial of service.
## 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 length validation on NR algorithm bitstrings before accessing them in the PathSwitchRequest handler.
