A vulnerability has been found in HDF5 1.14.6 and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is the function H5G__node_cmp3 of the file src/H5Gnode.c. The manipulation leads to stack-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.
