    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:
