NVD Description

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

A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__select_io() of H5Dselect.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division by zero. It could allow a remote denial of service attack.
