Last modified
CVE-2016-4331 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. When decoding data out of a dataset encoded with the H5Z_NBIT decoding, the HDF5 1.8.16 library will fail to ensure that the precision is within the bounds of the size leading to arbitrary code execution.. EPSS estimates a 0.76% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
