If you cannot patch yet, consider network-level controls to restrict unauthenticated Layer-2 multicast traffic on the process bus to trusted sources only.

Description

CVE-2026-66369 is an off-by-one boundary-handling vulnerability in the GOOSE parser of MZ Automation GmbH's libiec61850 library. It can be triggered by a single unauthenticated Layer-2 multicast frame on the process bus, causing the parser to read beyond the heap buffer. This results in a denial-of-service by terminating the subscriber process. No information about patches or fixes is currently available.
