free5GC CHF has Out-of-Bounds Slice Access that Leads to DoS

free5GC is an open source 5G core network. free5GC CHF prior to version 1.2.2 has an out-of-bounds slice access vulnerability in the CHF `nchf-convergedcharging` service. A valid authenticated request to PUT `/nchf-convergedcharging/v3/recharging/:ueId?ratingGroup=...` can trigger a server-side panic in `github.com/free5gc/chf/internal/sbi.(*Server).RechargePut(...)` due to an out-of-range slice access. In the reported runtime, Gin recovery converts the panic into HTTP 500, but the recharge path remains remotely panic-triggerable and can be abused repeatedly to degrade recharge functionality and flood logs. In deployments without equivalent recovery handling, this panic may cause more severe service disruption. free5GC CHF patches the issue. Some workarounds are available: Restrict access to the `nchf-convergedcharging` recharge endpoint to strictly trusted NF callers only; apply rate limiting or network ACLs in front of the CHF SBI interface to reduce repeated panic-trigger attempts; if the recharge API is not required, temporarily disable or block external reachability to this route; and/or ensure panic recovery, monitoring, and alerting are enabled.

free5GC 输入验证错误漏洞

free5GC是free5GC开源的一个第 5 代 (5G) 移动核心网络的开源项目。 free5GC 1.2.2之前版本存在输入验证错误漏洞，该漏洞源于CHF nchf-convergedcharging服务存在越界切片访问，可能导致服务器端内核崩溃和拒绝服务。
