How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:unstable hdf5.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream hdf5 package and not the hdf5 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

H5O__layout_decode in H5Olayout.c in HDF5 through 2.3.0 does not validate that a chunked dataset's stored chunk-layout dimensionality matches its dataspace rank when an existing dataset is opened, whereas this check is performed only at dataset-creation time. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and application crash in H5S__hyper_iter_get_seq_list in src/H5Shyper.c) via a crafted HDF5 file with mismatched chunk/dataspace ranks that is opened and read via H5Dopen2 and H5Dread, e.g. by the h5repack tool.
