Titlehttps://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf5 hfd5 v1.14.6 Heap-based Buffer Overflow
DescriptionA heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability was discovered in the H5SM_delete function within the HDF5 Library. This issue occurs when processing certain .h5 files, leading to an out-of-bounds read and potential application crash. The vulnerability arises in the H5SM_delete function defined in H5SM.c at line 1542. The function fails to properly check the buffer boundaries, resulting in a read operation beyond the allocated memory.
