A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in HDF5 1.14.6. This vulnerability affects the function H5O__fsinfo_encode of the file /src/H5Ofsinfo.c. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. 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.
