Summary
Open5GS through 2.8.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds read in ogs_pfcp_parse_dropped_dl_traffic_threshold() (CWE-125). A remote unauthenticated attacker can read past IE buffers by sending short IEs in PFCP Session Establishment or Modification Requests to the UPF on UDP port 8805 with the DLPA and DLBY flags set. The read can potentially crash the UPF.
