NULL pointer dereference in H5Pgetfillvalue in HDF5 before 2.3.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a dataset whose version 1 or 2 fill value message has the "defined" flag set together with a negative size field, which is not normalized to the library's "undefined" sentinel and reaches H5Tpathfind with a NULL datatype.

HDF5 is software for managing data. Prior to version 1.14.4-2, an attacker who can control an h5 file parsed by HDF5 can trigger a write-based heap buffer overflow condition. This can lead to a denial-of-service condition, and potentially further issues such as remote code execution depending on the practical exploitability of the heap overflow against modern operating systems. Real-world exploitability of this issue in terms of remote-code execution is currently unknown. Version 1.14.4-2 fixes the issue.

HDF5 is software for managing data. In 1.14.1-2 and earlier, a heap-use-after-free was found in the h5dump helper utility. An attacker who can supply a malicious h5 file can trigger a heap use-after-free. The freed object is referenced in a memmove call from H5Tconvstruct. The original object was allocated by H5Dtypeinfoinitphase3 and freed by H5Dtypeinfoterm.
