Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HDF5 versions prior to 1.12.0

Description A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the function Decompress() located in decompress.c. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to the gif2h5 binary, allowing an attacker to cause Denial of Service. The issue is related to a buffer overflow, which occurs when the Decompress() function writes beyond the boundaries of a buffer in memory.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.12.0, consider disabling the Decompress() function until a patch is available to prevent potential Denial of Service attacks. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
