CVE-2020-10809 [MEDIUM] CWE-122 hdf5: Heap-based buffer overflow in function Decompress() in decompress.c
hdf5: Heap-based buffer overflow in function Decompress() in decompress.c
An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the function Decompress() located in decompress.c. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to the gif2h5 binary. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service.
Statement: HDF5 is included as part of a loose dependency trail from python3-hardware package. There is a very low likelihood that an attacker would be able to exploit this vulnerability in a meaningful way in both OpenShift and OpenStack
In OpenShift 4.3, hdf5 is included in the container openshift/ironic-hardware-inventory-recorder-image, the dependency tail is: python3-hardware -> python3-pandas -> python3-tables -> hdf5
