If this object header is malformed such that + it causes the library to allocate a buffer that is too small + to hold the dataset's raw data, future I/O to the dataset can + result in heap buffer overflows. To fix this issue, an extra + check is now performed for compact datasets to ensure that + the size of the allocated buffer matches the expected size + of the dataset's raw data (as calculated from the dataset's + dataspace and datatype information). If the two sizes do not + match, opening of the dataset will fail. + + (JTH - 2023/04/13, GH-2606) + - Fix for CVE-2019-8396 Malformed HDF5 files may have truncated content which does not match |
