| Title | HDFGroup hdf5 v1.14.6 Buffer Overflow |
|---|
| Description | The HDF5 library contains a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the strndup function, which is called by H5MM_strndup during the decoding of attribute metadata. This vulnerability occurs when the library attempts to read 5 bytes of data beyond the bounds of an allocated 320-byte heap memory region. This could lead to memory corruption, application crashes, or potential exploitation for arbitrary code execution. |
