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)

    hdf5 was updated from version 1.10.8 to 1.10.11:

    - Security issues fixed:

      * CVE-2019-8396: Fixed problems with malformed HDF5 files where content does not match expected size.
    (bsc#1125882)
      * CVE-2018-11202: Fixed that a malformed file could result in chunk index memory leaks. (bsc#1093641)
      * CVE-2016-4332: Fixed an assertion in a previous fix for this issue (bsc#1011205).
      * CVE-2020-10812: Fixed a segfault on file close in h5debug which fails with a core dump on a file that     has an illegal         file size in its cache image.Fixes HDFFV-11052, (bsc#1167400).
      * CVE-2021-37501: Fixed buffer overflow in hdf5-h5dump (bsc#1207973)
      * Other security issues fixed (bsc#1224158):

        +  CVE-2024-29158, CVE-2024-29161, CVE-2024-29166, CVE-2024-32608,         +  CVE-2024-32610, CVE-2024-32614, CVE-2024-32619, CVE-2024-32620,         +  CVE-2024-33873, CVE-2024-33874, CVE-2024-33875         +  Additionally, these fixes resolve crashes triggered by the            reproducers for CVE-2017-17507, CVE-2018-11205. These crashes            appear to be unrelated to the original problems

    - Other issues fixed:

      * Remove timestamp/buildhost/kernel version from libhdf5.settings (bsc#1209548)
      * Changed the error handling for a not found path in the find plugin process.
      * Fixed a file space allocation bug in the parallel library for chunked datasets.
      * Fixed an assertion failure in Parallel HDF5 when a file can't be created due to an invalid library     version bounds         setting.
      * Fixed memory leaks that could occur when reading a dataset from a malformed file.
      * Fixed a bug in H5Ocopy that could generate invalid HDF5 files
      * Fixed potential heap buffer overflow in decoding of link info message.
      * Fixed potential buffer overrun issues in some object header decode routines.
      * Fixed a heap buffer overflow that occurs when reading from a dataset with a compact layout within a     malformed HDF5         file.
      * Fixed memory leak when running h5dump with proof of vulnerability file.
      * Added option --no-compact-subset to h5diff
      * Several improvements to parallel compression feature, including:

        + Improved support for collective I/O (for both writes and reads).
        + Reduction of copying of application data buffers passed to H5Dwrite.
        + Addition of support for incremental file space allocation for filtered datasets created in parallel.
        + Addition of support for HDF5's 'don't filter partial edge chunks' flag         + Addition of proper support for HDF5 fill values with the feature.
        + Addition of 'H5_HAVE_PARALLEL_FILTERED_WRITES' macro toH5pubconf.h so HDF5 applications can     determine at           compile-time whether the feature is available.
        + Addition of simple examples

      * h5repack added an optional verbose value for reporting R/W timing.
      * Fixed a metadata cache bug when resizing a pinned/protected cache entry.
      * Fixed a problem with the H5_VERS_RELEASE check in the H5check_version function.
      * Unified handling of collective metadata reads to correctly fix old bugs.
      * Fixed several potential MPI deadlocks in library failure conditions.
      * Fixed an issue with collective metadata reads being permanently disabled after a dataset chunk lookup     operation.

    netcdf was updated to fix:

    - rebuild against new hdf5 library version.

    trilinos was updated to fix:

    - Rebuild against new hdf5 library version.
    - Fix dependency in module file for MPI version of Trilinos to depend on the correct version of netcdf     (bsc#1210049).
      This prevents the error message:
      'Lmod has detected the following error: These module(s) or        extension(s) exist but cannot be loaded as requested: 'trilinos'

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
