## Affected

- MZ Automation GmbH libiec61850: fixed in 1.6.2

## Description

The MMS BER decoder contains a flaw in decoding fixed-width BER fields (boolean/integer): an attacker-supplied length value is not validated, causing a read past the end of a heap buffer. This leads to termination of the MMS service process and a denial-of-service condition.
