A heap-based buffer over-read in H5O_attr_decode() in H5Oattr.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while converting an HDF file to GIF file.
| Products | Hdf5 |
| Type | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) |
