MZ Automation libiec61850 Out-of-bounds Read

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

The GOOSE payload parser contains a boundary handling flaw that can be triggered by a single unauthenticated Layer 2 multicast frame on the process bus. When processing specific payload fields, an attacker controlled inner element length may exceed its enclosing length, causing the parser to over read by one byte. This out-of-bounds read reliably terminates the subscriber process, resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
