===================================
Library
-------
+ - Fixed CVE-2018-11202
+
+ A malformed file could result in chunk index memory leaks. Under most
+ conditions (i.e., when the --enable-using-memchecker option is NOT
+ used), this would result in a small memory leak and and infinite loop
+ and abort when shutting down the library. The infinite loop would be
+ due to the "free list" package not being able to clear its resources
+ so the library couldn't shut down. When the "using a memory checker"
+ option is used, the free lists are disabled so there is just a memory
+ leak with no abort on library shutdown.
+
+ The chunk index resources are now correctly cleaned up when reading
+ misparsed files and valgrind confirms no memory leaks.
+
- Fixed a file space allocation bug in the parallel library for chunked
datasets
