CVE-2026-26199

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

Published: 7/20/2026 Last updated: 7/20/2026 Reserved: 2/11/2026

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.
