CVE-2026-26199 PUBLISHED

Buffer underflow in `H5Iget_name `/`H5G_get_name` if size is zero

HDF5 is a high-performance library and a file format specification that implements the HDF5 data model. If H5Iget_name is invoked on a group id with 0 for the size parameter, it will underflow when trying to place a null terminator in the buffer. This can occur if H5Iget_name is invoked in a way where size can be forced to zero, and there is important data before the name buffer.
