Loginsoft-2020-1004
11 March, 2020
CVE Number
CVE-2020-10811
CWE
CWE – 122 : Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Product Details
HDF5 is a data model, library, and file format for storing and managing data. It supports an unlimited variety of data types and is designed for flexible and efficient I/O and for high volume and complex data. HDF5 is portable and is extensible, allowing applications to evolve in their use of HDF5. The HDF5 Technology suite includes tools and applications for managing, manipulating, viewing, and analyzing data in the HDF5 format.

Vulnerable Versions
1.13.0
Vulnerability Details
During our research we observed Heap overflow in the function H5O__layout_decode() located in H5Olayout.c. The same be triggered by sending a crafted file to the h5dump binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service.
SYNOPSIS
In progress.
