AI-Generated

F5 products using HDF5 versions up to 2.1.1 are vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow due to improper handling of the shared-message list index during deserialization. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by crafting HDF5 files that exceed the specified message count, potentially leading to denial of service through application crashes. Organizations utilizing affected F5 products should prioritize remediation to mitigate the risk of service disruption.

Original NVD Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in the SOHM list-index deserialization code in HDF5 through 2.1.1 on all platforms allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted HDF5 file whose shared-message list index declares a num_messages count exceeding list_max, triggering out-of-bounds heap reads and writes in H5SM__cache_list_deserialize and H5SM__cache_list_verify_chksum.
