HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 has a SEGV in H5T_close_real in H5T.c, resulting in a corrupted instruction pointer.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
