Description Laura Pardo 2018-09-27 21:35:48 UTC 
A flaw was found in in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library. A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__create_chunk_file_map_hyper() of H5Dchunk.c during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division by zero. It could allow a remote denial of service attack.
