When exploited, a single End User (UE) can crash the AMF, causing all registered UEs to lose network connectivity. Furthermore, any new registration attempts will be denied until the AMF is restarted. Given the ramifications of this vulnerability, which includes widespread network outages, it is imperative that users apply the recommended patches to safeguard their systems.
