Description Hans Loehr 2020-03-23 09:49:30 UTC

CVE-2020-10810

An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A NULL pointer dereference
exists in the function H5AC_unpin_entry() located in H5AC.c. It allows an
attacker to cause Denial of Service.

Comment 1 Hans Loehr 2020-03-25 10:26:31 UTC

To reproduce, see:
https://github.com/Loginsoft-Research/hdf5-reports/tree/master/Vuln_3

At least SLE15-SP1 and SLE12-SP2 are affected; probably other versions, too.

Comment 2 Hans Loehr 2020-03-25 15:33:23 UTC

The PoC from Loginsoft Research produces crashes, at least on SLE12-SP2 and Leap15.1 (should also be the case on SLE15 and SLE15-SP1).
However, the code in H5AC_unpin_entry() is different in our versions,
and the PoC seems to trigger a different bug (not the null pointer dereference that has been reported in this CVE). 

Leap15.1/SLE15:  double free in  H5FL.c: H5FL__reg_gc_list()

The NULL pointer access is a read access:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
H5AC_unpin_entry (thing=<optimized out>) at H5AC.c:1459

Regardless, the issue has been fixed in 1.10.7.
Meanwhile we have released 1.10.8.
