NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream hdf5.src package and not the hdf5.src package as distributed by RHEL.

HDF5 is software for managing data. Prior to version 1.14.4-2, an attacker who can control an h5 file parsed by HDF5 can trigger a write-based heap buffer overflow condition. This can lead to a denial-of-service condition, and potentially further issues such as remote code execution depending on the practical exploitability of the heap overflow against modern operating systems. Real-world exploitability of this issue in terms of remote-code execution is currently unknown. Version 1.14.4-2 fixes the issue.
