hdf5 vulnerability

About this tag
The hdf5 vulnerability tag covers multiple disclosed security flaws in the HDF5 library, a widely used binary container and C library for scientific and engineering data. Recent threads detail heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2025-2912, CVE-2025-6270, CVE-2025-2915, CVE-2025-7067, CVE-2025-6750), a stack-based overflow (CVE-2025-6857), and a use-after-free defect (CVE-2025-6856), all affecting HDF5 up to version 1.14.6. These vulnerabilities can be triggered by crafted or malformed .h5 files, leading to application crashes, denial of service, or potential code execution. Discussions also cover Microsoft's Azure Linux attestation regarding HDF5 CVEs and the need for proactive inventory and patching. The tag is relevant for IT security professionals, system administrators, and developers working with HDF5 in enterprise or research environments.
