CVE-2024-24426: Reachable assertions in the NGAP_FIND_PROTOCOLIE_BY_ID function of OpenAirInterface Magma v1.8.0 and OAI EPC Federation

CVE-2024-24426 is a vulnerability in OpenAirInterface Magma v1.8.0 and OAI EPC Federation v1.2.0 where attackers can trigger reachable assertions (checks that crash the program if they fail) in the NGAP_FIND_PROTOCOLIE_BY_ID function by sending a specially crafted NGAP packet (a message used in cellular networks), causing a Denial of Service attack (making the service unavailable to legitimate users). The vulnerability has not yet received an official CVSS severity rating from NIST.
