MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.22%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.22%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In HDF5 1.10.1, there is a NULL pointer dereference in the function H5O_pline_decode in the H5Opline.c file in libhdf5.a. For example, h5dump would crash when someone opens a crafted hdf5 file.
