Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
HDF5 versions 1.10.3 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to a memory leak in the
H5O dtype decode helper() function in the H5Odtype.c component of the HDF5 library. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service due to memory consumption via a crafted HDF5 file. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker.Recommendations
For versions 1.10.3 and earlier, consider updating to a version that fixes the memory leak issue in the
H5O dtype decode helper() function.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of crafted HDF5 files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
