Opened: Apr 13, 2021

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

GTP version 1 and GTP version 2 disagree on message type designations, so blocking a given message type has a different meaning depending on the GTP version.

Impact

The device might drop GTP message types that are not intended to be dropped.

Conditions

Compliance check 10208 is configured in an environment where different versions of GTP traffic might be encountered.

Workaround

If the environment supports/expects only GTP version 1 or version 2 traffic, use compliance check 10223 gtp_disallowed_version to exclude all traffic from the unexpected GTP type to eliminate the message type ambiguity.

Fix Information

None
