CVE-2026-65421 PUBLISHED

MZ Automation libiec61850 Out-of-bounds Read

Assigner: icscert
Reserved: 27.07.2026 Published: 30.07.2026 Updated: 30.07.2026

The MMS BER decoder contains a flaw in decoding fixed-width BER fields (boolean/integer): an attacker-supplied length value is not validated, causing a read past the end of a heap buffer. This leads to termination of the MMS service process and a denial-of-service condition.
