-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : hdf5 Version : 1.10.4+repack-10+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2018-11206 CVE-2018-17233 CVE-2018-17234 CVE-2018-17237 CVE-2018-17434 CVE-2018-17437

Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in HDF5, a Hierarchical Data Format and a library for scientific data. Memory leaks, out-of-bound reads and division by zero errors may lead to a denial of service when processing a malformed HDF file.

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

We recommend that you upgrade your hdf5 packages.

For the detailed security status of hdf5 please refer to its security tracker page at:
