CVE-2024-24445: OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (oai-cn5g-amf) <= 2.0.0 contains a null dereference in its handling of unsupported NGAP protoc

OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF (a software component that handles mobile network connections) version 2.0.0 and earlier has a null dereference vulnerability (a crash caused by trying to use a pointer that points to nothing) in how it processes unsupported NGAP protocol messages (communication formats in 5G networks). An attacker with network access near the AMF can exploit this to cause a denial of service (making the service unavailable to legitimate users).
