Automated vulnerability discovery method for 5G core network protocol by Peixiang WU, Zhilong ZHANG, Libo CHEN, Yijun WANG, Zhi XUE

“…With the widespread development of fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication technology, concerns regarding 5G network security have also increased.Blackbox fuzzing is a commonly used method for automated vulnerability discovery in software security.However, applying dynamic approaches like fuzzing to discover vulnerabilities in the complex design of 5G core network protocols poses challenges such as low efficiency, poor versatility, and lack of scalability.Therefore, a novel static method to examine the open-source solution of the 5G core network was proposed.Through this method, a series of memory leak security issues caused by improper variable life cycle management were identified, which can lead to denial-of-service attacks on the 5G core network.To summarize these weaknesses, a general vulnerability model and an automated vulnerability discovery method called HoI were presented, which utilized hybrid analysis based on control and data flow.By successfully discovering five zero-day bugs in Open5GS, an open-source solution for the 5G core network, vulnerabilities that cover practical application scenarios of multiple interface protocols in the 5G core network were identified.These vulnerabilities have wide-ranging impact, are highly detrimental, and can be easily exploited.They have been reported to the vendor and assigned four Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) numbers, demonstrating the effectiveness of this automated vulnerability discovery method.…”

First Autologous Cell Therapy of Cerebral Palsy Caused by Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Damage in a Child after Cardiac Arrest—Individual Treatment with Cord Blood by A. Jensen, E. Hamelmann

“…At 40 months, independent eating, walking in gait trainer, crawling, and moving from prone position to free sitting were possible, and there was significantly improved receptive and expressive speech competence (four-word sentences, 200 words). This remarkable functional neuroregeneration is difficult to explain by intense active rehabilitation alone and suggests that autologous cord blood transplantation may be an additional and causative treatment of pediatric cerebral palsy after brain damage.…”
