CVE-2020-10812 unveils a more fundamental design flaw in H5F__dest():
this function returns FAIL if one of multiple operations fail (in this
case H5AC_prep_for_file_close()) while it still proceeds to prepare the
close operation, free the 'shared' member in struct H5F_t and ulimately
deallocate the structure itself.
When H5F__dest() signals back FAIL to the caller, the caller itself
(H5F_try_close() in this case) will fail. This failure is signalled
up the stack, thus the file will not be considered closed and another
attempt will be made to close it - latest in the exit handler.
The next attempt to close will however need the already deallocated
H5F_t structure and the H5T_shared_t structure in its 'shared' member,
however.
This fix papers over the failure of H5AC_prep_for_file_close() by not
changing the return status of H5F__dest() to fail. There are numerous
other opportunities where this will happen.
This may call for a more fundamental solution.
