3Description
HDF5 is software for managing data. In 1.14.1-2 and earlier, an attacker who can control an h5 file parsed by HDF5 can trigger a write-based heap buffer overflow condition in the H5T__ref_mem_setnull method. This can lead to a denial-of-service condition, and potentially further issues such as remote code execution depending on the practical exploitability of the heap overflow against modern operating systems.
Analysis
Heap buffer overflow in HDF5 library versions 1.14.1-2 and earlier allows local attackers to trigger a write-based overflow in the H5T__ref_mem_setnull method by crafting malicious HDF5 files, leading to denial-of-service and potential remote code execution depending on heap exploitation complexity. Attack requires local file access and user interaction to parse a malicious file. …
