Summary
Open5GS through 2.8.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds read in ogs_pfcp_parse_volume_measurement() in lib/pfcp/types.c, a flaw that lets the parser read past IE buffers (CWE-125). A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a PFCP Session Report Request to the SMF on UDP port 8805 with a short Volume Measurement IE, reading up to 48 bytes and potentially crashing the SMF.
