Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Open5GS MME versions <= 2.6.4 contain an assertion that can be remotely triggered via a malformed ASN.1 packet over the S1AP interface. An attacker may send an `Initial UE Message` message missing a required `PLMN Identity` field to repeatedly crash the MME, resulting in denial of service.
