CVE-2026-37232

An issue was discovered in OpenAirInterface5G 2.4.0 (nr-softmodem) in the E2SM-KPM RAN Function's PRB utilization metric calculation. The functions fill_RRU_PrbTotDl() and fill_RRU_PrbTotUl() in openair2/E2AP/RAN_FUNCTION/O-RAN/ran_func_kpm_subs.c (lines 182 and 197) compute PRB usage percentages by dividing by the difference of two consecutive total_prb_aggregate samples without checking for zero. When a malicious xApp sends a high volume of E42_RIC_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUESTs via the FlexRIC iApp (port 36422/SCTP), the E2 Agent generates KPM Indication reports at high frequency. If two consecutive sampling intervals yield identical PRB aggregate values, the divisor becomes zero, triggering SIGFPE and crashing the entire 5G base station process (nr-softmodem). This results in complete 5G cell service interruption for all connected UEs. No authentication is required.

Summary
  • (es) Se descubrió un problema en OpenAirInterface5G 2.4.0 (nr-softmodem) en el cálculo de la métrica de utilización de PRB de la función RAN E2SM-KPM. Las funciones fill_RRU_PrbTotDl() y fill_RRU_PrbTotUl() en openair2/E2AP/RAN_FUNCTION/O-RAN/ran_func_kpm_subs.c (líneas 182 y 197) calculan los porcentajes de uso de PRB dividiendo por la diferencia de dos muestras consecutivas de total_prb_aggregate sin verificar si es cero. Cuando una xApp maliciosa envía un alto volumen de E42_RIC_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUESTs a través de la iApp FlexRIC (puerto 36422/SCTP), el Agente E2 genera informes de indicación KPM a alta frecuencia. Si dos intervalos de muestreo consecutivos producen valores agregados de PRB idénticos, el divisor se vuelve cero, lo que activa SIGFPE y provoca la caída de todo el proceso de la estación base 5G (nr-softmodem). Esto resulta en una interrupción completa del servicio de celda 5G para todos los UEs conectados. No se requiere autenticación.
