What is CVE-2023-37004?

Open5GS MME versions up to 2.6.4 are susceptible to a remote denial of service attack. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a malformed ASN.1 packet through the S1AP interface, specifically by delivering an Initial Context Setup Response message that lacks the essential MME_UE_S1AP_ID field. This manipulation can cause the MME to crash repeatedly, effectively leading to a service outage.
