A vulnerability classified as critical was found in HDF5 up to 1.14.6. Affected by this vulnerability is the function H5C__reconstruct_cache_entry of the file H5Cimage.c. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow. Attacking locally is a requirement. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
