Detail

Cisco Talos discovered that hdf5, a file format and library for storing scientific data, contained several vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution when handling untrusted data.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.13+docs-15+deb8u1.

For the testing distribution (stretch) and unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.10.0-patch1+docs-1.
