Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3522 advisory.

- An out of bounds read was discovered in H5O_fill_new_decode and H5O_fill_old_decode in H5Ofill.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2 library. It could allow a remote denial of service or information disclosure attack.
(CVE-2018-11206)

- A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__create_chunk_file_map_hyper() of H5Dchunk.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-2018-17233)

- Memory leak in the H5O__chunk_deserialize() function in H5Ocache.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-2018-17234)

- A SIGFPE signal is raised in the function H5D__chunk_set_info_real() of H5Dchunk.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.3 library during an attempted parse of a crafted HDF file, because of incorrect protection against division by zero. This issue is different from CVE-2018-11207. (CVE-2018-17237)

- 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)

- 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)

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

Solution

Upgrade the hdf5 packages.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.10.4+repack-10+deb10u1.
