Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the HDF5 library, specifically in the H5Z__filter_scaleoffset function. This vulnerability allows memory corruption and application crashes via decompression of a malformed HDF5 file using the Scale-Offset filter. The issue arises when the function reads 1 byte beyond a 1-byte heap allocation, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow.
