      * Other security issues fixed (bsc#1224158):

        +  CVE-2024-29158, CVE-2024-29161, CVE-2024-29166, CVE-2024-32608,         +  CVE-2024-32610, CVE-2024-32614, CVE-2024-32619, CVE-2024-32620,         +  CVE-2024-33873, CVE-2024-33874, CVE-2024-33875         +  Additionally, these fixes resolve crashes triggered by the            reproducers for CVE-2017-17507, CVE-2018-11205. These crashes            appear to be unrelated to the original problems

    - Other issues fixed:

      * Remove timestamp/buildhost/kernel version from libhdf5.settings (bsc#1209548)
      * Changed the error handling for a not found path in the find plugin process.
      * Fixed a file space allocation bug in the parallel library for chunked datasets.
      * Fixed an assertion failure in Parallel HDF5 when a file can't be created due to an invalid library     version bounds         setting.
      * Fixed memory leaks that could occur when reading a dataset from a malformed file.

      * Fixed memory leak when running h5dump with proof of vulnerability file.
      * Added option --no-compact-subset to h5diff
      * Several improvements to parallel compression feature, including:

        + Improved support for collective I/O (for both writes and reads).
        + Reduction of copying of application data buffers passed to H5Dwrite.
        + Addition of support for incremental file space allocation for filtered datasets created in parallel.
        + Addition of support for HDF5's 'don't filter partial edge chunks' flag         + Addition of proper support for HDF5 fill values with the feature.
        + Addition of 'H5_HAVE_PARALLEL_FILTERED_WRITES' macro toH5pubconf.h so HDF5 applications can     determine at           compile-time whether the feature is available.
        + Addition of simple examples

      * h5repack added an optional verbose value for reporting R/W timing.
      * Fixed a metadata cache bug when resizing a pinned/protected cache entry.
      * Fixed a problem with the H5_VERS_RELEASE check in the H5check_version function.
      * Unified handling of collective metadata reads to correctly fix old bugs.
      * Fixed several potential MPI deadlocks in library failure conditions.
      * Fixed an issue with collective metadata reads being permanently disabled after a dataset chunk lookup     operation.

    netcdf was updated to fix:

    - rebuild against new hdf5 library version.

    trilinos was updated to fix:

    - Rebuild against new hdf5 library version.
    - Fix dependency in module file for MPI version of Trilinos to depend on the correct version of netcdf     (bsc#1210049).
      This prevents the error message:
      'Lmod has detected the following error: These module(s) or        extension(s) exist but cannot be loaded as requested: 'trilinos'
