 - Bug in :meth:`MultiIndex.factorize` incorrectly raising on length-0 indexes (:issue:`57517`)
 - Bug in :meth:`read_csv` causing segmentation fault when ``encoding_errors`` is not a string. (:issue:`59059`)
+- Bug in :meth:`read_csv` for the ``c`` and ``python`` engines where parsing numbers with large exponents caused overflows. Now, numbers with large positive exponents are parsed as ``inf`` or ``-inf`` depending on the sign of the mantissa, while those with large negative exponents are parsed as ``0.0`` (:issue:`62617`, :issue:`38794`, :issue:`62740`)
 - Bug in :meth:`read_csv` raising ``TypeError`` when ``index_col`` is specified and ``na_values`` is a dict containing the key ``None``. (:issue:`57547`)
 - Bug in :meth:`read_csv` raising ``TypeError`` when ``nrows`` and ``iterator`` are specified without specifying a ``chunksize``. (:issue:`59079`)
 - Bug in :meth:`read_csv` where the order of the ``na_values`` makes an inconsistency when ``na_values`` is a list non-string values. (:issue:`59303`)
