CVE-2025-2913 Details
Description
A vulnerability was found in HDF5 up to 1.14.6. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is the function H5FL__blk_gc_list of the file src/H5FL.c. The manipulation of the argument H5FL_blk_head_t leads to use after free. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
A heap-use-after-free vulnerability has been identified in the HDF5 library versions through 1.14.6. The issue occurs in the 'H5FL__blk_gc_list' function within 'src/H5FL.c'. This vulnerability arises because the function does not properly manage memory addresses, allowing freed addresses to be reused, which can lead to out-of-bounds reads and potential application crashes. The vulnerability requires local access to exploit.
Users are advised to update to HDF5 version 2.0.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
