Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
HDF5 version 1.10.1
Description
The issue is related to an out of bounds read vulnerability in the
H5T conv struct opt function in H5Tconv.c within libhdf5.a. This could cause a crash, for example, when using h5dump to open a crafted hdf5 file.Recommendations
For HDF5 version 1.10.1, consider restricting the use of the
H5T conv struct opt function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using h5dump with untrusted or potentially manipulated 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
