Open5GS versions up to and including 2.6.4 Monitor system logs for unexpected crashes related to

The vulnerability stems from a "reachable assertion" within the nas_eps_send_emm_to_esm function. In software development, an assertion is a check that the code assumes to be true; if it fails, the program usually crashes immediately to prevent further errors. In software development, an assertion is a check
