A vulnerability was found in HDF5 up to 1.14.6. It has been declared as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is the function H5O_msg_flush of the file src/H5Omessage.c. The manipulation of the argument oh leads to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
HDF5 library through 1.14.3 has memory corruption in H5A__close resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer and causing denial of service or potential code execution.
HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 has a heap-based buffer overflow in H5O__layout_encode in H5Olayout.c, resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.
HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in H5T__ref_mem_setnull in H5Tref.c (called from H5T__conv_ref in H5Tconv.c), resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.
HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in H5T__get_native_type in H5Tnative.c, resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.
