New Features
============
Configuration:
-------------
- Added new option to build libaec and zlib inline with CMake.
Using the CMake FetchContent module, the external filters can populate
content at configure time via any method supported by the ExternalProject
module. Whereas ExternalProject_Add() downloads at build time, the
FetchContent module makes content available immediately, allowing the
configure step to use the content in commands like add_subdirectory(),
include() or file() operations.
The HDF options (and defaults) for using this are:
BUILD_SZIP_WITH_FETCHCONTENT:BOOL=OFF
LIBAEC_USE_LOCALCONTENT:BOOL=OFF
BUILD_ZLIB_WITH_FETCHCONTENT:BOOL=OFF
ZLIB_USE_LOCALCONTENT:BOOL=OFF
The CMake variables to control the path and file names:
LIBAEC_TGZ_ORIGPATH:STRING
LIBAEC_TGZ_ORIGNAME:STRING
ZLIB_TGZ_ORIGPATH:STRING
ZLIB_TGZ_ORIGNAME:STRING
See the CMakeFilters.cmake and config/cmake/cacheinit.cmake files for usage.
(ADB - 2023/02/21)
- Removal of MPE support
The ability to build with MPE instrumentation has been removed along with
the following configure options:
Autotools:
--with-mpe=
CMake has never supported building with MPE support.
(DER - 2022/11/08)
- Removal of dmalloc support
The ability to build with dmalloc support has been removed along with
the following configure options:
Autotools:
--with-dmalloc=
CMake:
HDF5_ENABLE_USING_DMALLOC
(DER - 2022/11/08)
- Removal of memory allocation sanity checks configure options
With the removal of the memory allocation sanity checks feature, the
following configure options are no longer necessary and have been
removed:
Autotools:
--enable-memory-alloc-sanity-check
CMake:
HDF5_MEMORY_ALLOC_SANITY_CHECK
HDF5_ENABLE_MEMORY_STATS
(DER - 2022/11/03)
Library:
--------
- Added a Subfiling VFD configuration file prefix environment variable
The Subfiling VFD now checks for values set in a new environment
variable "H5FD_SUBFILING_CONFIG_FILE_PREFIX" to determine if the
application has specified a pathname prefix to apply to the file
path for its configuration file. For example, this can be useful
for cases where the application wishes to write subfiles to a
machine's node-local storage while placing the subfiling configuration
file on a file system readable by all machine nodes.
(JTH - 2023/02/22)
- Overhauled the Virtual Object Layer (VOL)
The virtual object layer (VOL) was added in HDF5 1.12.0 but the initial
implementation required API-breaking changes to better support optional
operations and pass-through VOL connectors. The original VOL API is
now considered deprecated and VOL users and connector authors should
target the 1.14 VOL API.
The specific changes are too extensive to document in a release note, so
VOL users and connector authors should consult the updated VOL connector
author's guide and the 1.12-1.14 VOL migration guide.
(DER - 2022/12/28)
- H5VLquery_optional() signature change
The last parameter of this API call has changed from a pointer to hbool_t
to a pointer to uint64_t. Due to the changes in how optional operations
are handled in the 1.14 VOL API, we cannot make the old API call work
with the new scheme, so there is no API compatibility macro for it.
(DER - 2022/12/28)
- H5I_free_t callback signature change
In order to support asynchronous operations and future IDs, the signature
of the H5I_free_t callback has been modified to take a second 'request'
parameter. Due to the nature of the internal library changes, no API
compatibility macro is available for this change.
(DER - 2022/12/28)
- Fix for CVE-2019-8396
Malformed HDF5 files may have truncated content which does not match
the expected size. When H5O__pline_decode() attempts to decode these it
may read past the end of the allocated space leading to heap overflows
as bounds checking is incomplete.
The fix ensures each element is within bounds before reading.
(2022/11/09 - HDFFV-10712, CVE-2019-8396, GitHub #2209)
- Removal of memory allocation sanity checks feature
This feature added heap canaries and statistics tracking for internal
library memory operations. Unfortunately, the heap canaries caused
problems when library memory operations were mixed with standard C
library memory operations (such as in the filter pipeline, where
buffers may have to be reallocated). Since any platform with a C
compiler also usually has much more sophisticated memory sanity
checking tools than the HDF5 library provided (e.g., valgrind), we
have decided to to remove the feature entirely.
In addition to the configure changes described above, this also removes
the following from the public API:
H5get_alloc_stats()
H5_alloc_stats_t

Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.13.3 release
===================================
Library
-------
- Fixed issues in the Subfiling VFD when using the SELECT_IOC_EVERY_NTH_RANK
or SELECT_IOC_TOTAL I/O concentrator selection strategies
Multiple bugs involving these I/O concentrator selection strategies
were fixed, including:
* A bug that caused the selection strategy to be altered when
criteria for the strategy was specified in the
H5FD_SUBFILING_IOC_SELECTION_CRITERIA environment variable as
a single value, rather than in the old and undocumented
'integer:integer' format
* Two bugs which caused a request for 'N' I/O concentrators to
result in 'N - 1' I/O concentrators being assigned, which also
lead to issues if only 1 I/O concentrator was requested
Also added a regression test for these two I/O concentrator selection
strategies to prevent future issues.

- Fix CVE-2021-37501 / GHSA-rfgw-5vq3-wrjf
Check for overflow when calculating on-disk attribute data size.
A bogus hdf5 file may contain dataspace messages with sizes
which lead to the on-disk data sizes to exceed what is addressable.
When calculating the size, make sure, the multiplication does not
overflow.
The test case was crafted in a way that the overflow caused the
size to be 0.
(EFE - 2023/02/11 GH-2458)
- Fixed an issue with collective metadata writes of global heap data
New test failures in parallel netCDF started occurring with debug
builds of HDF5 due to an assertion failure and this was reported in
GitHub issue #2433. The assertion failure began happening after the
collective metadata write pathway in the library was updated to use
vector I/O so that parallel-enabled HDF5 Virtual File Drivers (other
than the existing MPI I/O VFD) can support collective metadata writes.
The assertion failure was fixed by updating collective metadata writes
to treat global heap metadata as raw data, as done elsewhere in the
library.
(JTH - 2023/02/16, GH #2433)
- 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
H5VL__native_file_close() 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 H5VL__native_file_close() when the
library exits and terminates the file package.
(VC - 2022/12/14, HDFFV-11052, CVE-2020-10812)
- Fix CVE-2018-13867 / GHSA-j8jr-chrh-qfrf
Validate location (offset) of the accumulated metadata when comparing.
Initially, the accumulated metadata location is initialized to HADDR_UNDEF
- the highest available address. Bogus input files may provide a location
or size matching this value. Comparing this address against such bogus
values may provide false positives. Thus make sure, the value has been
initialized or fail the comparison early and let other parts of the
code deal with the bogus address/size.
Note: To avoid unnecessary checks, it is assumed that if the 'dirty'
member in the same structure is true the location is valid.
(EFE - 2022/10/10 GH-2230)
- Fix CVE-2018-16438 / GHSA-9xmm-cpf8-rgmx
Make sure info block for external links has at least 3 bytes.
According to the specification, the information block for external links
contains 1 byte of version/flag information and two 0 terminated strings
for the object linked to and the full path.
Although not very useful, the minimum string length for each (with
terminating 0) would be one byte.
Checking this helps to avoid SEGVs triggered by bogus files.
(EFE - 2022/10/09 GH-2233)
- CVE-2021-46244 / GHSA-vrxh-5gxg-rmhm
Compound datatypes may not have members of size 0
A member size of 0 may lead to an FPE later on as reported in
CVE-2021-46244. To avoid this, check for this as soon as the
member is decoded.
(EFE - 2022/10/05 GEH-2242)
- Fix CVE-2021-45830 / GHSA-5h2h-fjjr-x9m2
Make H5O__fsinfo_decode() more resilient to out-of-bound reads.
When decoding a file space info message in H5O__fsinfo_decode() make
sure each element to be decoded is still within the message. Malformed
hdf5 files may have trunkated content which does not match the
expected size. Checking this will prevent attempting to decode
unrelated data and heap overflows. So far, only free space manager
address data was checked before decoding.
(EFE - 2022/10/05 GH-2228)
- Fix CVE-2021-46242 / GHSA-x9pw-hh7v-wjpf
When evicting driver info block, NULL the corresponding entry.
Since H5C_expunge_entry() called (from H5AC_expunge_entry()) sets the flag
H5C__FLUSH_INVALIDATE_FLAG, the driver info block will be freed. NULLing
the pointer in f->shared->drvinfo will prevent use-after-free when it is
used in other functions (like H5F__dest()) - as other places will check
whether the pointer is initialized before using its value.
(EFE - 2022/09/29 GH-2254)
- Fix CVE-2021-45833 / GHSA-x57p-jwp6-4v79
Report error if dimensions of chunked storage in data layout < 2
For Data Layout Messages version 1 & 2 the specification state
that the value stored in the data field is 1 greater than the
number of dimensions in the dataspace. For version 3 this is
not explicitly stated but the implementation suggests it to be
the case.
Thus the set value needs to be at least 2. For dimensionality
< 2 an out-of-bounds access occurs.
(EFE - 2022/09/28 GH-2240)
- Fix CVE-2018-14031 / GHSA-2xc7-724c-r36j
Parent of enum datatype message must have the same size as the
enum datatype message itself.
Functions accessing the enumeration values use the size of the
enumeration datatype to determine the size of each element and
how much data to copy.
Thus the size of the enumeration and its parent need to match.
Check in H5O_dtype_decode_helper() to avoid unpleasant surprises
later.
(EFE - 2022/09/28 GH-2236)
- Fix CVE-2018-17439 / GHSA-vcxv-vp43-rch7
H5IMget_image_info(): Make sure to not exceed local array size
Malformed hdf5 files may provide more dimensions than the array dim[] in
H5IMget_image_info() is able to hold. Check number of elements first by calling
H5Sget_simple_extent_dims() with NULL for both 'dims' and 'maxdims' arguments.
This will cause the function to return only the number of dimensions.
The fix addresses a stack overflow on write.

Configuration
-------------
- Correct the CMake generated pkg-config file
The pkg-config file generated by CMake had the order and placement of the
libraries wrong. Also added support for debug library names.
Changed the order of Libs.private libraries so that dependencies come after
dependents. Did not move the compression libraries into Requires.private
because there was not a way to determine if the compression libraries had
supported pkconfig files. Still recommend that the CMake config file method
be used for building projects with CMake.
(ADB - 2023/02/16 GH-1546,GH-2259)
- Remove Javadoc generation
The use of doxygen now supersedes the requirement to build javadocs. We do not
have the resources to continue to support two documentation methods and have
chosen doxygen as our standard.
(ADB - 2022/12/19)
- Change the default for building the high-level tools
The gif2hdf5 and hdf2gif high-level tools are deprecated and will be removed
in a future release. The default build setting for them have been changed from enabled
to disabled. A user can enable the build of these tools if needed.
autotools: --enable-hlgiftools
cmake: HDF5_BUILD_HL_GIF_TOOLS=ON
(ADB - 2022/12/16)
- Change the settings of the *pc files to use the correct format
The pkg-config files generated by CMake uses incorrect syntax for the 'Requires'
settings. Changing the set to use 'lib-name = version' instead 'lib-name-version'
fixes the issue
(ADB - 2022/12/06 HDFFV-11355)
- Move MPI libraries link from PRIVATE to PUBLIC
The install dependencies were not including the need for MPI libraries when
an application or library was built with the C library. Also updated the
CMake target link command to use the newer style MPI::MPI_C link variable.

ADB - 2019/05/07
At present, metadata cache images may not be generated by parallel
applications. Parallel applications can read files with metadata cache
images, but since this is a collective operation, a deadlock is possible
if one or more processes do not participate.
CPP ptable test fails on both VS2017 and VS2019 with Intel compiler, JIRA
issue: HDFFV-10628. This test will pass with VS2015 with Intel compiler.
The subsetting option in ph5diff currently will fail and should be avoided.
The subsetting option works correctly in serial h5diff.
Several tests currently fail on certain platforms:
MPI_TEST-t_bigio fails with spectrum-mpi on ppc64le platforms.
MPI_TEST-t_subfiling_vfd and MPI_TEST_EXAMPLES-ph5_subfiling fail with
cray-mpich on theta and with XL compilers on ppc64le platforms.
MPI_TEST_testphdf5_tldsc fails with cray-mpich 7.7 on cori and theta.
Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files
in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to
CMake vs. Autotools installations
=================================
While both build systems produce similar results, there are differences.
Each system produces the same set of folders on linux (only CMake works
on standard Windows); bin, include, lib and share. Autotools places the
COPYING and RELEASE.txt file in the root folder, CMake places them in
the share folder.
The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake
creates dynamic versions of the tools with the suffix "-shared". Autotools
installs one set of tools depending on the "--enable-shared" configuration
option.
build scripts
-------------
Autotools: h5c++, h5cc, h5fc
CMake: h5c++, h5cc, h5hlc++, h5hlcc
The include folder holds the header files and the fortran mod files. CMake
places the fortran mod files into separate shared and static subfolders,
while Autotools places one set of mod files into the include folder. Because
CMake produces a tools library, the header files for tools will appear in
the include folder.
The lib folder contains the library files, and CMake adds the pkgconfig
subfolder with the hdf5*.pc files used by the bin/build scripts created by
the CMake build. CMake separates the C interface code from the fortran code by
creating C-stub libraries for each Fortran library. In addition, only CMake
installs the tools library. The names of the szip libraries are different
between the build systems.
The share folder will have the most differences because CMake builds include
a number of CMake specific files for support of CMake's find_package and support
for the HDF5 Examples CMake project.
The issues with the gif tool are:
HDFFV-10592 CVE-2018-17433
HDFFV-10593 CVE-2018-17436
HDFFV-11048 CVE-2020-10809
These CVE issues have not yet been addressed and are avoided by not building
the gif tool by default. Enable building the High-Level tools with these options:

New Features
============
Configuration:
-------------
- Add new CMake configuration variable HDF5_USE_GNU_DIRS
HDF5_USE_GNU_DIRS (default OFF) selects the use of GNU Coding Standard install
directory variables by including the CMake module, GNUInstallDirs(see CMake
documentation for details). The HDF_DIR_PATHS macro in the HDFMacros.cmake file
sets various PATH variables for use during the build, test and install processes.
By default, the historical settings for these variables will be used.
(ADB - 2022/10/21, GH-2175, GH-1716)
- Update CMake minimum version to 3.18
Updated CMake minimum version from 3.12 to 3.18 and removed version checks
which were added for Windows features not yet available in version 3.12. Also
removed configure macros and code checks for old style code compile checks.
(ADB - 2022/08/29, HDFFV-11329)
Library:
--------
- Added multi dataset I/O feature
Added H5Dread_multi, H5Dread_multi_async, H5Dwrite_multi, and
H5Dwrite_multi_async API routines to allow I/O on multiple datasets with a
single API call. Added H5Dread_multi_f and H5Dwrite_multi_f Fortran
wrappers. Updated VOL callbacks for dataset I/O to support multi dataset
I/O.
(NAF - 2022/10/19)
Parallel Library:
-----------------

Fortran Library:
----------------
- Added pointer based H5Dfill_f API
Added Fortran H5Dfill_f, which is fully equivalent to the C API. It accepts pointers,
fill value datatype and datatype of dataspace elements.

Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.13.2 release
===================================
Library
-------
- Fixed an issue with variable length attributes
Previously, if a variable length attribute was held open while its file
was opened through another handle, the same attribute was opened through
the second file handle, and the second file and attribute handles were
closed, attempting to write to the attribute through the first handle
would cause an error.
(NAF - 2022/10/24)
- Memory leak
A memory leak was observed with variable-length fill value in
H5O_fill_convert() function in H5Ofill.c. The leak is
manifested by running valgrind on test/set_extent.c.
Previously, fill->buf is used for datatype conversion
if it is large enough and the variable-length information
is therefore lost. A buffer is now allocated regardless
so that the element in fill->buf can later be reclaimed.
(VC - 2022/10/10, HDFFV-10840)
- Fixed an issue with hyperslab selections
Previously, when combining hyperslab selections, it was possible for the
library to produce an incorrect combined selection.
(NAF - 2022/09/25)
- Fixed an issue with attribute type conversion with compound datatypes
Previously, when performing type conversion for attribute I/O with a
compound datatype, the library would not fill the background buffer with
the contents of the destination, potentially causing data to be lost when
only writing to a subset of the compound fields.
(NAF - 2022/08/22, GitHub #2016)
Java Library
------------
- Improve variable-length datatype handling in JNI.
The existing JNI read-write functions could handle variable-length datatypes
that were simple variable-length datatype with an atomic sub-datatype. More
complex combinations could not be handled. Reworked the JNI read-write functions
to recursively inspect datatypes for variable-length sub-datatypes.
