Library
-------
+ - 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.
+
+ (BMR - 2020/6/19, HDFFV-10591)
+
- Improved peformance when creating a large number of small datasets by
retrieving default property values from the API context instead of doing
skip list searches.
