H5Zfilterfletcher32 in H5Zfletcher32.c in HDF5 through 2.3.0 computes the data length to checksum by subtracting the 4-byte trailing checksum size from the input buffer size without checking that the buffer is at least 4 bytes, allowing a sizet underflow. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service (massively out-of-bounds read and application crash in H5checksumfletcher32) via a crafted HDF5 file with a Fletcher32-filtered chunk smaller than 4 bytes, triggered via H5Dread, e.g. by the h5ls or h5dump tools.

The H5Znbitdecompressonebyte, H5Znbitdecompressonenooptype, and H5Znbitdecompressoneatomic functions in H5Znbit.c in HDF5 through 2.3.0 advance a read index into the compressed chunk buffer without bounding it against the buffer's actual size. This allows attackers to cause an out-of-bounds heap read, and in constrained cases disclosure of adjacent heap memory into decompressed dataset values, via a crafted HDF5 file whose N-Bit filter parameters describe more decompressed data than the stored compressed chunk actually contains, triggered via H5Dread, e.g. by the h5ls or h5repack tools.

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in HDF5 1.14.6. Affected is the function H5FSsectlinksize of the file src/H5FSsection.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.

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in HDF5 1.14.6. This vulnerability affects the function H5Ofsinfoencode 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.

A vulnerability was found in HDF5 up to 1.14.6. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is the function H5FLblkgclist of the file src/H5FL.c. The manipulation of the argument H5FLblkheadt leads to use after free. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

A vulnerability was found in HDF5 1.14.6 and classified as critical. This issue affects the function H5MMstrndup of the component Metadata Attribute Decoder. 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 vendor plans to fix this issue in an upcoming release.

HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer over-read in the function H5HLfldeserialize in H5HLcache.c, a different vulnerability than CVE-2024-32612.

HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 has a SEGV in H5Tclosereal in H5T.c, resulting in a corrupted instruction pointer.

HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer over-read in H5HLfldeserialize in H5HLcache.c resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer a different vulnerability than CVE-2024-32613.
