===================================
Library
-------
+ - Fixed a heap buffer overflow that occurs when reading from
+ a dataset with a compact layout within a malformed HDF5 file
+
+ During opening of a dataset that has a compact layout, the
+ library allocates a buffer that stores the dataset's raw data.
+ The dataset's object header that gets written to the file
+ contains information about how large of a buffer the library
+ should allocate. If this object header is malformed such that
+ it causes the library to allocate a buffer that is too small
+ to hold the dataset's raw data, future I/O to the dataset can
+ result in heap buffer overflows. To fix this issue, an extra
+ check is now performed for compact datasets to ensure that
+ the size of the allocated buffer matches the expected size
+ of the dataset's raw data (as calculated from the dataset's
+ dataspace and datatype information). If the two sizes do not
+ match, opening of the dataset will fail.
+
+ (JTH - 2023/04/13, GH-2606)

- Fix for CVE-2019-8396
Malformed HDF5 files may have truncated content which does not match
