Four CVEs for hdf5 issues fixed in unstable
CVE-2017-17505, CVE-2017-17506, CVE-2017-17508 and CVE-2017-17509 are fixed in upstream release 1.10.2. https://confluence.hdfgroup.org/display/support/HDF5+1.10.2 And thus included in the 1.10.4+repack-1 upload to unstable. For CVE-2017-17507 upstrema does not plan to fix the bug: - If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound datatype with a suitably large offset, the type conversion code can run off the end of the type conversion buffer, causing a segmentation fault. This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17507. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-17506 https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2017-17506 NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file or a file created by third-party software. THE HDF GROUP WILL NOT FIX THIS BUG AT THIS TIME Fixing this problem would involve updating the publicly visible H5T_conv_t function pointer typedef and versioning the API calls which use it. We normally only modify the public API during major releases, so this bug will not be fixed at this time. (DER - 2018/02/26, HDFFV-10356)
