Multiple heap overflows were found in HDF5. These issues could be used to gain code execution in any program that exposes the affected functions to untrusted input. While HDF5 is shipped as a dependency, no Red Hat products are known to expose these issues in any supported use case at this time.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
