HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in H5HG_read in H5HG.c (called from H5VL__native_blob_get in H5VLnative_blob.c), resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2025:3801 advisory.

    RPM packages are internal build artifacts and not supported on their own.
    They are only supported as part of the RHEL AI application image.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in H5HG_read in H5HG.c (called from     H5VL__native_blob_get in H5VLnative_blob.c), resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.
    (CVE-2024-32621)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of hdf5 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-32621 advisory.

  - HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in H5HG_read in H5HG.c (called from     H5VL__native_blob_get in H5VLnative_blob.c), resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.
    (CVE-2024-32621)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of hdf5 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-32621 advisory.

  - HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer overflow in H5HG_read in H5HG.c (called from     H5VL__native_blob_get in H5VLnative_blob.c), resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.
