Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11205)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to #BASIC_IMPACT#.

A out of bounds read was discovered in H5VM_memcpyvv in H5VM.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library. It could allow a remote denial of service or information disclosure attack.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-13867)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is an out of bounds read in the function H5F__accum_read in H5Faccum.c.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14031)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in the function H5T_copy in H5T.c. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16438)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.8.20 library. There is an out of bounds read in H5L_extern_query at H5Lexternal.c.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17439)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.10.3 library. There is a stack-based buffer overflow in the function H5S_extent_get_dims() in H5S.c. Specifically, this issue occurs while converting an HDF5 file to a GIF file.


6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-8396)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the H5O__layout_encode function in H5Olayout.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a buffer buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10812)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the H5F_get_nrefs() function in H5Fquery.c. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45830)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the H5F_addr_decode_len() function in /hdf5/src/H5Fint.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45833)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in within the H5D__create_chunk_file_map_hyper() function in /hdf5/src/H5Dchunk.c. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-46242)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the H5AC_unpin_entry component. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


11) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-46244)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a divide by zero error within the H5T__complete_copy() function in /hdf5/src/H5T.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
