In HDF5 1.10.1, there is a NULL pointer dereference in the function H5O_pline_decode in the H5Opline.c file in libhdf5.a. For example, h5dump would crash when someone opens a crafted hdf5 file.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4817-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that HDF5 incorrectly handled certain hdf5 files. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

  - A NULL pointer dereference in H5O_sdspace_encode() in H5Osdspace.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library     allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. (CVE-2018-17432)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow in ReadGifImageDesc() in gifread.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library     allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while     converting a GIF file to an HDF file. (CVE-2018-17433)

  - A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function apply_filters() of h5repack_filters.c in the HDF HDF5 through     1.10.3 library during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against     division by zero. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-17434)

  - A heap-based buffer over-read in H5O_attr_decode() in H5Oattr.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library     allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while     converting an HDF file to GIF file. (CVE-2018-17435)

  - ReadCode() in decompress.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library allows attackers to cause a denial of     service (invalid write access) via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while converting a GIF     file to an HDF file. (CVE-2018-17436)

  - Memory leak in the H5O_dtype_decode_helper() function in H5Odtype.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3 library     allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted HDF5 file.
    (CVE-2018-17437)

  - A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__select_io() of H5Dselect.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.3     library during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division     by zero. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-17438)

  - An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A heap-based buffer overflow exists in the function     Decompress() located in decompress.c. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to the gif2h5 binary.
    It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service. (CVE-2020-10809)

  - An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function     H5AC_unpin_entry() located in H5AC.c. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service. (CVE-2020-10810)

  - An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A heap-based buffer over-read exists in the function     H5O__layout_decode() located in H5Olayout.c. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service.
    (CVE-2020-10811)
