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

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 474819

Description

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

 - H5O__layout_decode in H5Olayout.c in HDF5 through 2.3.0 does not validate that a chunked dataset's stored
 chunk-layout dimensionality matches its dataspace rank when an existing dataset is opened, whereas this
 check is performed only at dataset-creation time. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service
 (divide-by-zero and application crash in H5S__hyper_iter_get_seq_list in src/H5Shyper.c) via a crafted
 HDF5 file with mismatched chunk/dataspace ranks that is opened and read via H5Dopen2 and H5Dread, e.g. by
 the h5repack tool. (CVE-2026-19025)

Solution

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