Description Laura Pardo 2018-09-28 19:32:05 UTC 
A flaw was found in HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library. A heap-based buffer overflow in ReadGifImageDesc() in gifread.c allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while converting a GIF file to an HDF file.
