===================================
Library
-------
+ - Seg fault on file close
+
+ h5debug fails at file close with core dump on a file that has an
+ illegal file size in its cache image. In H5F__dest(), the library
+ performs all the closing operations for the file and keeps track of
+ the error encountered when reading the file cache image.
+ At the end of the routine, it frees the file's file structure and
+ returns error. Due to the error return, the file object is not removed
+ from the ID node table. This eventually causes assertion failure in
+ H5F__close_cb() when the library finally exits and tries to
+ access that file object in the table for closing.
+
+ The closing routine, H5F__dest(), will not free the file structure if
+ there is error, keeping a valid file structure in the ID node table.
+ It will be freed later in H5F__close_cb() when the library exits and
+ terminates the file package.
+
+ Fix for HDFFV-11052, CVE-2020-10812
