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.
In HDF5 1.10.1, there is a NULL pointer dereference in the function H5O_pline_decode in the H5Opline.c file in libhdf5.a. For example, h5dump would crash when someone opens a crafted hdf5 file.
(CVE-2017-17505)
In HDF5 1.10.1, there is an out of bounds read vulnerability in the function H5Opline_pline_decode in H5Opline.c in libhdf5.a. For example, h5dump would crash when someone opens a crafted hdf5 file.
(CVE-2017-17506)
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. (CVE-2017-17508)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
