CVE-2026-66720
Published:July 30, 2026
Updated:August 04, 2026
The GOOSE subscriber component improperly validates the UTC timestamp
field in unauthenticated IEC 61850 GOOSE (EtherType 0x88B8) Layer-2
multicast messages. A specially crafted GOOSE frame containing an
undersized timestamp field can trigger a heap out-of-bounds read during
message processing, causing the process to crash and resulting in a
denial-of-service condition.
