patch available.

  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in HDF5 1.14.6. This issue affects
    the function H5FL__malloc of the file src/H5FL.c. The manipulation leads to memory leak. Attacking locally
    is a requirement. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. (CVE-2025-7068)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
