An issue was discovered in FlexRIC 2.0.0. It crashes during a Subscription Request denial-of-service (DoS) attack, triggered by an assertion error. An attacker must send a high number of E42 Subscription Requests to the Near-RT RIC component.
The product contains an assert() or similar statement that can be triggered by an attacker, which leads to an application exit or other behavior that is more severe than necessary.
