Echo: hdf5: security update to 1.14.5+repack-3+e14

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474856

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A heap-based buffer overflow in H5VM_array_fill() in src/H5VM.c in HDF5 before 2.2.0 lets a remote
 attacker cause an application crash and possibly execute arbitrary code with a crafted HDF5 file. When a
 dataset's unallocated chunks are read, H5D__fill_init() fills the fill-value buffer from datatype and
 dataspace metadata in the file. If that metadata is inconsistent with the buffer's allocated size, the
 write goes past the end of the buffer. The attacker can control the content written through the fill value
 stored in the file. (CVE-2026-106547)

Solution

Update the hdf5 library and its related packages to version 1.14.5+repack-3+e14 or later.
