(DER - 2017/11/21, HDFFV-10330)
+ - If an HDF5 file contains a filter pipeline message which contains
+ a 'number of filters' field that exceeds the actual number of
+ filters in the message, the HDF5 C library will read off the end of
+ the read buffer.
+
+ This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17506.
+
+ NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
+ should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
+ or a file created by third-party software.
+
+ The problem was fixed by passing the buffer size with the buffer
+ and ensuring that the pointer cannot be incremented off the end
+ of the buffer. A mismatch between the number of filters declared
+ and the actual number of filters will now invoke normal HDF5
+ error handling.
