CVE-2024-32620

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions HDF5 Library versions prior to 1.14.4

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer over-read in the H5F addr decode len function in the H5Fint.c file of the HDF5 library. This can cause corruption of the instruction pointer. The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.14.4, update to version 1.14.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the H5F addr decode len function in the H5Fint.c file until a patch is available.
