  - A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in HDF5 1.14.6. Affected is the function
    H5FS__sect_link_size of the file src/H5FSsection.c. The manipulation leads to heap-based buffer overflow.
    It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and
    may be used. (CVE-2025-7069)
