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)
