CVE-2026-26199
Last modified
CVE-2026-26199 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. HDF5 is a high-performance library and a file format specification that implements the HDF5 data model. If `H5Iget_name` is invoked on a group id with `0` for the size parameter, it will underflow when trying to place a null terminator in the buffer. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
HDF5 is a high-performance library and a file format specification that implements the HDF5 data model. If `H5Iget_name` is invoked on a group id with `0` for the size parameter, it will underflow when trying to place a null terminator in the buffer. This can occur if `H5Iget_name` is invoked in a way where `size` can be forced to zero, and there is important data before the `name` buffer.
