HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in H5T__get_native_type in H5Tnative.c, resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
