{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4333","details":"The HDF5 1.8.16 library allocating space for the array using a value from the file has an impact within the loop for initializing said array allowing a value within the file to modify the loop's terminator. Due to this, an aggressor can cause the loop's index to point outside the bounds of the array when initializing it.","modified":"2026-04-22T11:12:53.400848Z","published":"2016-11-18T20:59:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2016-4333"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2016-4333"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://www.talosintelligence.com/reports/TALOS-2016-0179/"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2016-4333"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"hdf5","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/hdf5@1.8.11-5ubuntu7.1?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.8.11-5ubuntu7.1"}]}],"versions":["1.8.11-3ubuntu1","1.8.11-5ubuntu1","1.8.11-5ubuntu2","1.8.11-5ubuntu6","1.8.11-5ubuntu7"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.8.11-5ubuntu7.1","binary_name":"hdf5-helpers"},{"binary_version":"1.8.11-5ubuntu7.1","binary_name":"hdf5-tools"},{"binary_version":"1.8.11-5ubuntu7.1","binary_name":"libhdf5-7"},{"binary_version":"1.8.11-5ubuntu7.1","binary_name":"libhdf5-mpich2-7"},{"binary_version":"1.8.11-5ubuntu7.1","binary_name":"libhdf5-openmpi-7"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2016/UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4333.json"}},{"package":{"name":"hdf5","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/hdf5@1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1.1?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1.1"}]}],"versions":["1.8.15-patch1+docs-4","1.8.15-patch1+docs-5","1.8.16+docs-1","1.8.16+docs-2","1.8.16+docs-3","1.8.16+docs-3ubuntu1","1.8.16+docs-4","1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"No subscription required","binaries":[{"binary_version":"1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1.1","binary_name":"hdf5-helpers"},{"binary_version":"1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1.1","binary_name":"hdf5-tools"},{"binary_version":"1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1.1","binary_name":"libhdf5-10"},{"binary_version":"1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1.1","binary_name":"libhdf5-cpp-11"},{"binary_version":"1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1.1","binary_name":"libhdf5-mpich-10"},{"binary_version":"1.8.16+docs-4ubuntu1.1","binary_name":"libhdf5-openmpi-10"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2016/UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4333.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"low"}]}
