Echo: hdf5: security update to 1.14.4.2

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 458227

Description

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

 - HDF5 is software for managing data. Prior to version 1.14.4-2, an attacker who can control an `h5` file
 parsed by HDF5 can trigger a write-based heap buffer overflow condition. This can lead to a denial-of-
 service condition, and potentially further issues such as remote code execution depending on the practical
 exploitability of the heap overflow against modern operating systems. Real-world exploitability of this
 issue in terms of remote-code execution is currently unknown. Version 1.14.4-2 fixes the issue.
 (CVE-2026-26200)

Solution

Update the hdf5 library and its related packages to version 1.14.4.2 or later.
