Technical details
A stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) exists in MZ Automation libIEC61850 versions 1.0.0 through 1.6.1. The vulnerability is triggered when the library processes a malformed MMS Read Request, leading to memory corruption. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this over the network without user interaction to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by crashing critical IEC 61850 services. While the primary impact is availability, such memory corruption vulnerabilities can sometimes be leveraged for broader system compromise depending on the environment. Users are advised to update to the latest build available on the vendor's GitHub repository.
