     -------
+    - Fixed many (future) CVE issues
+
+      A partner organization corrected many potential security issues, which
+      were fixed and reported to us before submission to MITRE. These do
+      not have formal CVE issues assigned to them yet, so the numbers assigned
+      here are just placeholders. We will update the HDF5 1.14 CVE list (link
+      below) when official MITRE CVE tracking numbers are assigned.
+
+      These CVE issues are generally of the same form as other reported HDF5
+      CVE issues, and rely on the library failing while attempting to read
+      a malformed file. Most of them cause the library to segfault and will
+      probably be assigned "medium (~5/10)" scores by NIST, like the other
+      HDF5 CVE issues.
+
+      The issues that were reported to us have all been fixed in this release,
+      so HDF5 will continue to have no unfixed public CVE issues.
+
+      NOTE: HDF5 versions earlier than 1.14.4 should be considered vulnerable
+            to these issues and users should upgrade to 1.14.4 as soon as
+            possible. Note that it's possible to build the 1.14 library with
+            HDF5 1.8, 1.10, etc. API bindings for people who wish to enjoy
+            the benefits of a more secure library but don't want to upgrade
+            to the latest API. We will not be bringing the CVE fixes to earlier
+            versions of the library (they are no longer supported).
