Title:	openSUSE Security Advisory (SUSE-SU-2024:0538-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'hdf5' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2024:0538-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'hdf5' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2024:0538-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: This update for hdf5 fixes the following issues: Updated to version 1.10.11 * Changed the error handling for a not found path in the find plugin process. * Fixed CVE-2018-11202, a malformed file could result in chunk index memory leaks. * 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 an assertion in a previous fix for CVE-2016-4332. * Fixed 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, CVE-2020-10812. * 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 CVE-2019-8396, malformed HDF5 files where content does not match expected size. * Fixed memory leak when running h5dump with proof of vulnerability file. * Added option --no-compact-subset to h5diff. Fixes since 1.10.10: * Fixed a memory corruption when reading from dataset using a hyperslab selection in file dataspace and a point selection memory dataspace. * Fix CVE-2021-37501 * Fixed an issue with variable length attributes. * Fixed an issue with hyperslab selections where an incorrect combined selection was produced. * Fixed an issue with attribute type conversion with compound datatypes. * Modified H5Fstart_swmr_write() to preserve DAPL properties. * Converted an assertion on (possibly corrupt) file contents to a normal error check. * Fixed memory leak with variable-length fill value in H5O_fill_convert(). * Fix h5repack to only print output when verbose option is selected. Fixes since 1.10.9: * 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 to H5pubconf.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 ...
