MmsValue_decodeMmsData in mms/iso_mms/server/mms_access_result.c in libIEC61850 through 1.4.0 has a heap-based buffer overflow when parsing the MMS_BIT_STRING data type.

Heap buffer overflow in libIEC61850

In libIEC61850 before version 1.4.3, when a message with COTP message length field with value < 4 is received an integer underflow will happen leading to heap buffer overflow. This can cause an application crash or on some platforms even the execution of remote code. If your application is used in open networks or there are untrusted nodes in the network it is highly recommend to apply the patch. This was patched with commit 033ab5b. Users of version 1.4.x should upgrade to version 1.4.3 when available. As a workaround changes of commit 033ab5b can be applied to older versions.

mz-automation libiec61850 1.3.2 1.3.1 1.3.0 is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: Software crash. The component is: server_example_complex_array. The attack vector is: Send a specific MMS protocol packet.

An issue has been found in libIEC61850 v1.3. It is a heap-based buffer overflow in BerEncoder_encodeOctetString in mms/asn1/ber_encoder.c. This is exploitable even after CVE-2018-18834 has been patched, with a different dataSetValue sequence than the CVE-2018-18834 attack vector.

An issue has been found in libIEC61850 v1.3. It is a NULL pointer dereference in Ethernet_sendPacket in ethernet_bsd.c.

An issue has been found in libIEC61850 v1.3. It is a SEGV in Ethernet_receivePacket in ethernet_bsd.c.

An issue has been found in libIEC61850 v1.3. It is a SEGV in ControlObjectClient_setCommandTerminationHandler in client/client_control.c. NOTE: the software maintainer disputes this because it requires incorrect usage of the client_example_control program

An issue has been found in libIEC61850 v1.3. It is a stack-based buffer overflow in prepareGooseBuffer in goose/goose_publisher.c.

An issue has been found in libIEC61850 v1.3. It is a NULL pointer dereference in ClientDataSet_getValues in client/ied_connection.c.
