Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

free5GC versions before 4.2.2 do not validate NF profile fields in the NRF registration handler. An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the NRF can register fake network function profiles with arbitrary service endpoints, so other functions may send control-plane traffic to attacker-controlled addresses. Upgrade to free5GC 4.2.2.
