HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer over-read in H5F_addr_decode_len in H5Fint.c, resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer.

The version of hdf5 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-32620 advisory.

  - HDF5 Library through 1.14.3 contains a heap-based buffer over-read in H5F_addr_decode_len in H5Fint.c,     resulting in the corruption of the instruction pointer. (CVE-2024-32620)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3144-1 advisory.

    hdf5 was updated from version 1.10.8 to 1.10.11:

    - Security issues fixed:

      * CVE-2019-8396: Fixed problems with malformed HDF5 files where content does not match expected size.
    (bsc#1125882)
      * CVE-2018-11202: Fixed that a malformed file could result in chunk index memory leaks. (bsc#1093641)
      * CVE-2016-4332: Fixed an assertion in a previous fix for this issue (bsc#1011205).
      * CVE-2020-10812: Fixed a segfault on file close in h5debug which fails with a core dump on a file that     has an illegal         file size in its cache image.Fixes HDFFV-11052, (bsc#1167400).
      * CVE-2021-37501: Fixed buffer overflow in hdf5-h5dump (bsc#1207973)
      * Other security issues fixed (bsc#1224158):

        +  CVE-2024-29158, CVE-2024-29161, CVE-2024-29166, CVE-2024-32608,         +  CVE-2024-32610, CVE-2024-32614, CVE-2024-32619, CVE-2024-32620,         +  CVE-2024-33873, CVE-2024-33874, CVE-2024-33875         +  Additionally, these fixes resolve crashes triggered by the            reproducers for CVE-2017-17507, CVE-2018-11205. These crashes            appear to be unrelated to the original problems

    - Other issues fixed:

      * Remove timestamp/buildhost/kernel version from libhdf5.settings (bsc#1209548)
      * Changed the error handling for a not found path in the find plugin process.
      * Fixed a file space allocation bug in the parallel library for chunked datasets.
      * Fixed an assertion failure in Parallel HDF5 when a file can't be created due to an invalid library     version bounds         setting.
      * Fixed memory leaks that could occur when reading a dataset from a malformed file.
      * Fixed a bug in H5Ocopy that could generate invalid HDF5 files
      * Fixed potential heap buffer overflow in decoding of link info message.
      * Fixed potential buffer overrun issues in some object header decode routines.
      * Fixed a heap buffer overflow that occurs when reading from a dataset with a compact layout within a     malformed HDF5         file.
      * Fixed memory leak when running h5dump with proof of vulnerability file.
      * Added option --no-compact-subset to h5diff
      * Several improvements to parallel compression feature, including:

        + Improved support for collective I/O (for both writes and reads).
        + Reduction of copying of application data buffers passed to H5Dwrite.
        + Addition of support for incremental file space allocation for filtered datasets created in parallel.
        + Addition of support for HDF5's 'don't filter partial edge chunks' flag         + Addition of proper support for HDF5 fill values with the feature.
        + Addition of 'H5_HAVE_PARALLEL_FILTERED_WRITES' macro toH5pubconf.h so HDF5 applications can     determine at           compile-time whether the feature is available.
        + Addition of simple examples

      * h5repack added an optional verbose value for reporting R/W timing.
      * Fixed a metadata cache bug when resizing a pinned/protected cache entry.
      * Fixed a problem with the H5_VERS_RELEASE check in the H5check_version function.
      * Unified handling of collective metadata reads to correctly fix old bugs.
      * Fixed several potential MPI deadlocks in library failure conditions.
      * Fixed an issue with collective metadata reads being permanently disabled after a dataset chunk lookup     operation.

    netcdf was updated to fix:

    - rebuild against new hdf5 library version.

    trilinos was updated to fix:

    - Rebuild against new hdf5 library version.
    - Fix dependency in module file for MPI version of Trilinos to depend on the correct version of netcdf     (bsc#1210049).
      This prevents the error message:
      'Lmod has detected the following error: These module(s) or        extension(s) exist but cannot be loaded as requested: 'trilinos'
