Configuration:
-------------
+ - CMake option to link the generated Fortran MOD files into the include
+ directory.
+
+ The Fortran generation of MOD files by a Fortran compile can produce
+ different binary files between SHARED and STATIC compiles with different
+ compilers and/or different platforms. Note that it has been found that
+ different versions of Fortran compilers will produce incompatible MOD
+ files. Currently, CMake will locate these MOD files in subfolders of
+ the include directory and add that path to the Fortran library target
+ in the CMake config file, which can be used by the CMake find library
+ process. For other build systems using the binary from a CMake install,
+ a new CMake configuration can be used to copy the pre-chosen version
+ of the Fortran MOD files into the install include directory.
+
+ The default will depend on the configuration of
+ BUILD_STATIC_LIBS and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS:
+ YES YES Default to SHARED
+ YES NO Default to STATIC
+ NO YES Default to SHARED
+ NO NO Default to SHARED
+ The defaults can be overriden by setting the config option
+ HDF5_INSTALL_MOD_FORTRAN to one of NO, SHARED, or STATIC

+ - Fixed issues CVE-2018-13870 and CVE-2018-13869
+
+ When a buffer overflow occurred because a name length was corrupted
+ and became very large, h5dump crashed on memory access violation.
+
+ A check for reading pass the end of the buffer was added to multiple
+ locations to prevent the crashes and h5dump now simply fails with an
+ error message when this error condition occurs.
+
+ (BMR - 2020/7/22, HDFFV-11120 and HDFFV-11121)
+
+ - Fixed the segmentation fault when reading attributes with multiple threads
+
+ It was reported that the reading of attributes with variable length string
+ datatype will crash with segmentation fault particularly when the number of
+ threads is high (>16 threads). The problem was due to the file pointer that
+ was set in the variable length string datatype for the attribute. That file
+ pointer was already closed when the attribute was accessed.
+
+ The problem was fixed by setting the file pointer to the current opened file pointer
+ when the attribute was accessed. Similar patch up was done before when reading
+ dataset with variable length string datatype.

+ (VC - 2020/07/13, HDFFV-11080)
+
+ - Fixed CVE-2020-10810
+
+ The tool h5clear produced a segfault during an error recovery in
+ the superblock decoding. An internal pointer was reset to prevent
+ further accessing when it is not assigned with a value.

+
+ - Fixed CVE-2018-17435
+
+ The tool h52gif produced a segfault when the size of an attribute
+ message was corrupted and caused a buffer overflow.
+
+ The problem was fixed by verifying the attribute message's size
+ against the buffer size before accessing the buffer. h52gif was
+ also fixed to display the failure instead of silently exiting
+ after the segfault was eliminated.

+ - H5Sset_extent_none() sets the dataspace class to H5S_NO_CLASS which
+ causes asserts/errors when passed to other dataspace API calls.
+
+ H5S_NO_CLASS is an internal class value that should not have been
+ exposed via a public API call.
+
+ In debug builds of the library, this can cause asserts to trip. In
+ non-debug builds, it will produce normal library errors.
+
+ The new library behavior is for H5Sset_extent_none() to convert
+ the dataspace into one of type H5S_NULL, which is better handled
+ by the library and easier for developers to reason about.
