Echo: hdf5: security update to 1.14.5+repack-3+e15

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477736

Description

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

 - A heap-based buffer over-read in H5Z__filter_scaleoffset() in src/H5Zscaleoffset.c in HDF5 through 2.2.0
 lets an attacker cause a denial of service (application crash) with a crafted HDF5 file. When the stored
 minimum bits equal the full precision of the datatype, the decoder copies d_nelmts * size bytes from the
 compressed chunk without checking that the chunk holds that many bytes. Both values come from attacker-
 controlled scale-offset filter parameters in the dataset's filter pipeline message. (CVE-2026-19029)

Solution

Update the hdf5 library and its related packages to version 1.14.5+repack-3+e15 or later.
