MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.23%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
An issue was discovered in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library. Excessive stack consumption has been detected in the function H5P__get_cb() in H5Pint.c during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file. This results in denial of service.
