Submit #592589: HDF5 1.14.6 Heap-based Buffer Overflowinfo

TitleHDF5 1.14.6 Heap-based Buffer Overflow
DescriptionA heap-buffer-overflow is reported by AddressSanitizer in the function H5F_addr_decode_len (H5Fint.c). The overflow occurs when the code reads past the end of a heap-allocated buffer due to insufficient validation of buffer length before pointer increment. This can lead to undefined behavior or potential security issues.
