A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in HDF5 1.14.6. Affected by this issue is the function H5O__mtime_new_encode of the file src/H5Omtime.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.
