Duplicate Advisory

This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mgx6-5cf9-rr43. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the HDF5 weight loading component in Google Keras 3.0.0 through 3.12.0 and 3.13.0 on all platforms allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) through memory exhaustion and a crash of the Python interpreter via a crafted .keras archive containing a valid model.weights.h5 file whose dataset declares an extremely large shape.

Severity
7.1 (High)
