AI-suggested
Red Hat has published advisories referencing this vulnerability but does not explicitly state that a fix is available. Users should monitor official Google Keras and Red Hat advisories for patches or updates addressing this issue. Until a patch is available, avoid loading untrusted .keras archives containing model.weights.h5 files with potentially large datasets.
Description
Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the HDF5 weight loading component in Google Keras 3.0.0 through 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.
