Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HDF5 versions 1.10.3 and earlier

Description A SIGFPE signal is raised in the apply filters() function of h5repack filters.c due to incorrect protection against division by zero when parsing a crafted HDF file. This could allow a remote denial of service attack.

Recommendations For versions 1.10.3 and earlier, consider disabling the apply filters() function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to crafted HDF files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
