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. + + (DER - 2018/02/26, HDFFV-10355) + - If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound type which contains a member of size zero, a division by zero error will occur while processing the type. |
