+### Fixed security issue CVE-2025-2915 and OSV-2024-381
+   Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in H5F__accum_free caused by an integer overflow when calculating new_accum_size. Added validation in H5O__mdci_decode to detect and reject invalid values early, preventing the overflow condition.

+   Fixes GitHub issue #5380

 ### Fixed security issue CVE-2025-7068
 
    Failures during the discard process on a metadata cache entry could cause the library to skip calling the callback to free the cache entry. This could result in resource leaks and issues with flushing and closing the metadata cache during file close. This has been fixed by noting errors during the discard process, but attempting to fully free a cache entry before signalling that an error has occurred.
