Description

CVE-2026-65421 is a medium severity vulnerability in MZ Automation GmbH's libiec61850 library. It involves a flaw in the MMS BER decoder where an attacker-supplied length value for fixed-width BER fields (boolean/integer) is not properly validated. This can cause a read past the end of a heap buffer, leading to the termination of the MMS service process and resulting in a denial-of-service condition.
