Opened: Jul 04, 2019

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

Valid GTP-C traffic may cause buffer overflow with incrementing sequence numbers.

Impact

TMM Crash/core. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

Valid GTP traffic with incrementing sequence number will cause memory corruption/core when processed through IPS library.

Workaround

The only workaround is to disable protocol inspection or remove GTP service from all protocol-inspection profiles.
