Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Free5GC is an open-source Linux Foundation project for 5th generation (5G) mobile core networks. In versions prior to 1.4.2, the UDM incorrectly converts a downstream 400 Bad Request (from UDR) into a 500 Internal Server Error when handling PATCH requests with an empty supi path parameter. Additionally, the UDM incorrectly translates the PATCH method to PUT when forwarding to UDR, indicating a deeper architectural issue. This leaks internal error handling behavior, making it difficult for clients to distinguish between client-side errors and server-side failures. The issue has been patched in version 1.4.2.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

1.4.2

  1. Identify the current version of the Free5GC UDM component in your deployment
  2. Stop the UDM service to prevent inconsistent state during upgrade
  3. Upgrade the UDM package or container to version 1.4.2
  4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the UDM version
  5. Restart the UDM service
  6. Test that PATCH requests with empty supi path parameter now return appropriate 400 Bad Request instead of 500 Internal Server Error
  7. Verify that PATCH method is correctly forwarded to UDR (not translated to PUT)
