Summary

Open5GS from 1.3.0 through 2.8.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds write in parse_multipart() (CWE-787). Supplying an empty multipart boundary causes memory to be written past the lookbehind buffer. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send one crafted multipart/related request to the SBI interface of any network function, corrupting memory and crashing it.
