The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:0538-1 advisory.

  - The library's failure to check if certain message types support a particular flag, the HDF5 1.8.16 library     will cast the structure to an alternative structure and then assign to fields that aren't supported by the     message type and the library will write outside the bounds of the heap buffer. This can lead to code     execution under the context of the library. (CVE-2016-4332)

  - A NULL pointer dereference was discovered in H5S_hyper_make_spans in H5Shyper.c in the HDF HDF5 1.10.2     library. It could allow a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-11202)

  - A buffer overflow in H5O__layout_encode in H5Olayout.c in the HDF HDF5 through 1.10.4 library allows     attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HDF5 file. This issue was triggered while repacking     an HDF5 file, aka Invalid write of size 2. (CVE-2019-8396)

  - An issue was discovered in HDF5 through 1.12.0. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function     H5F_get_nrefs() located in H5Fquery.c. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service. (CVE-2020-10812)

  - Buffer Overflow vulnerability in HDFGroup hdf5-h5dump 1.12.0 through 1.13.0 allows attackers to cause a     denial of service via h5tools_str_sprint in /hdf5/tools/lib/h5tools_str.c. (CVE-2021-37501)

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