In HDF5 1.10.1, there is a divide-by-zero vulnerability in the function H5T_set_loc in the H5T.c file in libhdf5.a. For example, h5dump would crash when someone opens a crafted hdf5 file.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4817-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that HDF5 incorrectly handled certain hdf5 files. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1933-1 advisory.
