Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HDF5 version 1.10.1

Description The issue is related to a NULL pointer dereference in the H5O pline decode function, located in the H5Opline.c file within libhdf5.a. This can cause applications like h5dump to crash when attempting to open a specially crafted HDF5 file.

Recommendations For HDF5 version 1.10.1, consider avoiding the use of the H5O pline decode function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the opening of potentially crafted HDF5 files to minimize the risk of application crashes. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
