- In HDF5 1.10.1, there is an out of bounds read vulnerability in the function H5Opline_pline_decode in H5Opline.c in libhdf5.a. For example, h5dump would crash when someone opens a crafted hdf5 file.
(CVE-2017-17506)

- In HDF5 1.10.1, there is a divide-by-zero vulnerability in the function H5T_set_loc in the H5T.c file in libhdf5.a. For example, h5dump would crash when someone opens a crafted hdf5 file. (CVE-2017-17508)

- In HDF5 1.10.1, there is an out of bounds write vulnerability in the function H5G__ent_decode_vec in H5Gcache.c in libhdf5.a. For example, h5dump would crash or possibly have unspecified other impact someone opens a crafted hdf5 file. (CVE-2017-17509)

- A NULL pointer dereference was discovered in H5S_hyper_make_spans in H5Shyper.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-11202)

- A division by zero was discovered in H5D__btree_decode_key in H5Dbtree.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library.
It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-11203)

- A NULL pointer dereference was discovered in H5O__chunk_deserialize in H5Ocache.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-11204)

- An out of bounds read was discovered in H5O_fill_new_decode and H5O_fill_old_decode in H5Ofill.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library. It could allow a remote denial of service or information disclosure attack.
(CVE-2018-11206)

- A division by zero was discovered in H5D__chunk_init in H5Dchunk.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-11207)

- An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is a memcpy parameter overlap in the function H5O_link_decode in H5Olink.c. (CVE-2018-13869)

- An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function H5O_link_decode in H5Olink.c. (CVE-2018-13870)

- An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function H5O_layout_decode in H5Olayout.c, related to HDmemcpy. (CVE-2018-14033)

- An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the function H5O_sdspace_decode in H5Osdspace.c. (CVE-2018-14460)

- A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__create_chunk_file_map_hyper() of H5Dchunk.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division by zero. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-17233)

- Memory leak in the H5O__chunk_deserialize() function in H5Ocache.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted HDF5 file.
(CVE-2018-17234)

- A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__chunk_set_info_real() of H5Dchunk.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.3 library during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division by zero. This issue is different from CVE-2018-11207. (CVE-2018-17237)

- A NULL pointer dereference in H5O_sdspace_encode() in H5Osdspace.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. (CVE-2018-17432)

- A heap-based buffer overflow in ReadGifImageDesc() in gifread.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while converting a GIF file to an HDF file. (CVE-2018-17433)

- A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function apply_filters() of h5repack_filters.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division by zero. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-17434)

- A heap-based buffer over-read in H5O_attr_decode() in H5Oattr.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while converting an HDF file to GIF file. (CVE-2018-17435)

- ReadCode() in decompress.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write access) via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while converting a GIF file to an HDF file. (CVE-2018-17436)

- Memory leak in the H5O_dtype_decode_helper() function in H5Odtype.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted HDF5 file.
(CVE-2018-17437)

- A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__select_io() of H5Dselect.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division by zero. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-17438)

- An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the function Decompress() located in decompress.c. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to the gif2h5 binary.
It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service. (CVE-2020-10809)

- An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function H5AC_unpin_entry() located in H5AC.c. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service. (CVE-2020-10810)

- An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A heap-based buffer over-read exists in the function H5O__layout_decode() located in H5Olayout.c. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service.
(CVE-2020-10811)
