Library
-------
+ - 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

+ * Testing for thread safety in H5A library operations.
+ * ------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * Purpose: Verify that the segmentation fault described in HDFFV-11080
+ * is fixed.
+ *
+ * This test simulates what the user did to trigger the error:
+ * --Create an HDF5 file
+ * --Create an attribute with variable length string datatype
+ * --Attach the attribute to a group
+ * --Write data to the attribute
+ * --Close the file
+ * --Create NUM_THREADS threads
+ * --For each thread:
+ * --Open the test file
+ * --Open and read the attribute for each opened file
+ *
+ * The cause of the problem in this jira issue is due to the file pointer
+ * that is set in the variable length string datatype for the attribute.
+ * That file pointer is already closed and therefore needs to be set to
+ * the current opened file pointer when the attribute is accessed.
+ * Similar patch up was done before when reading dataset in H5D__read()
+ * in src/H5Aint.c.
+ * Hopefully this kind of patch can go away when we resolve the
+ * shared file pointer issue.
