mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
= mbed TLS x.x.x branch released xxxx-xx-xx
Features
* Allow comments in test data files.
Bugfix
* Fix ssl_parse_record_header() to silently discard invalid DTLS records
as recommended in RFC 6347 Section 4.1.2.7.
* Fix memory leak in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() when called multiple times.
Found by projectgus and jethrogb, #836.
* Fix usage help in ssl_server2 example. Found and fixed by Bei Lin.
* Parse signature algorithm extension when renegotiating. Previously,
renegotiated handshakes would only accept signatures using SHA-1
regardless of the peer's preferences, or fail if SHA-1 was disabled.
* Fix leap year calculation in x509_date_is_valid() to ensure that invalid
dates on leap years with 100 and 400 intervals are handled correctly. Found
by Nicholas Wilson. #694
= mbed TLS 2.6.0 branch released 2017-08-10
Security
* Fix authentication bypass in SSL/TLS: when authmode is set to optional,
mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result() would incorrectly return 0 when the peer's
X.509 certificate chain had more than MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_INTERMEDIATE_CA
(default: 8) intermediates, even when it was not trusted. This could be
triggered remotely from either side. (With authmode set to 'required'
(the default), the handshake was correctly aborted).
* Reliably wipe sensitive data after use in the AES example applications
programs/aes/aescrypt2 and programs/aes/crypt_and_hash.
Found by Laurent Simon.
Features
* Add the functions mbedtls_platform_setup() and mbedtls_platform_teardown()
and the context struct mbedtls_platform_context to perform
platform-specific setup and teardown operations. The macro
MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_SETUP_TEARDOWN_ALT allows the functions to be overridden
by the user in a platform_alt.h file. These new functions are required in
some embedded environments to provide a means of initialising underlying
cryptographic acceleration hardware.
API Changes
* Reverted API/ABI breaking changes introduced in mbed TLS 2.5.1, to make the
API consistent with mbed TLS 2.5.0. Specifically removed the inline
qualifier from the functions mbedtls_aes_decrypt, mbedtls_aes_encrypt,
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_ec and mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_uses_psk. Found
by James Cowgill. #978
* Certificate verification functions now set flags to -1 in case the full
chain was not verified due to an internal error (including in the verify
callback) or chain length limitations.
* With authmode set to optional, the TLS handshake is now aborted if the
verification of the peer's certificate failed due to an overlong chain or
a fatal error in the verify callback.
Bugfix
* Add a check if iv_len is zero in GCM, and return an error if it is zero.
Reported by roberto. #716
* Replace preprocessor condition from #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_PTHREAD)
to #if defined(MBEDTLS_THREADING_C) as the library cannot assume they will
always be implemented by pthread support. #696
* Fix a resource leak on Windows platforms in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path(),
in the case of an error. Found by redplait. #590
* Add MBEDTLS_MPI_CHK to check for error value of mbedtls_mpi_fill_random.
Reported and fix suggested by guidovranken. #740
* Fix conditional preprocessor directives in bignum.h to enable 64-bit
compilation when using ARM Compiler 6.
* Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
encoded X.509 CRLs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CRLs
to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
* Fix potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
encoded X.509 CSRs. The overflow could enable maliciously constructed CSRs
to bypass the version verification check. Found by Peng Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin,
KNOX Security, Samsung Research America
* Fix a potential integer overflow in the version verification for DER
encoded X.509 certificates. The overflow could enable maliciously
constructed certificates to bypass the certificate verification check.
* Fix a call to the libc function time() to call the platform abstraction
function mbedtls_time() instead. Found by wairua. #666
* Avoid shadowing of time and index functions through mbed TLS function
arguments. Found by inestlerode. #557.
Changes
* Added config.h option MBEDTLS_NO_UDBL_DIVISION, to prevent the use of
64-bit division. This is useful on embedded platforms where 64-bit division
created a dependency on external libraries. #708
* Removed mutexes from ECP hardware accelerator code. Now all hardware
accelerator code in the library leaves concurrency handling to the
platform. Reported by Steven Cooreman. #863
* Define the macro MBEDTLS_AES_ROM_TABLES in the configuration file
config-no-entropy.h to reduce the RAM footprint.
* Added a test script that can be hooked into git that verifies commits
before they are pushed.
* Improve documentation of PKCS1 decryption functions.
= mbed TLS 2.5.1 released 2017-06-21
Security
* Fixed unlimited overread of heap-based buffer in mbedtls_ssl_read().
The issue could only happen client-side with renegotiation enabled.
Could result in DoS (application crash) or information leak
(if the application layer sent data read from mbedtls_ssl_read()
back to the server or to a third party). Can be triggered remotely.
* Removed SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160 from the default hash algorithms for
certificate verification. SHA-1 can be turned back on with a compile-time
option if needed.
* Fixed offset in FALLBACK_SCSV parsing that caused TLS server to fail to
detect it sometimes. Reported by Hugo Leisink. #810
* Tighten parsing of RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 signatures, to avoid a
potential Bleichenbacher/BERserk-style attack.
Bugfix
* Remove size zero arrays from ECJPAKE test suite. Size zero arrays are not
valid C and they prevented the test from compiling in Visual Studio 2015
and with GCC using the -Wpedantic compilation option.
* Fix insufficient support for signature-hash-algorithm extension,
resulting in compatibility problems with Chrome. Found by hfloyrd. #823
* Fix behaviour that hid the original cause of fatal alerts in some cases
when sending the alert failed. The fix makes sure not to hide the error
that triggered the alert.
* Fix SSLv3 renegotiation behaviour and stop processing data received from
peer after sending a fatal alert to refuse a renegotiation attempt.
Previous behaviour was to keep processing data even after the alert has
been sent.
* Accept empty trusted CA chain in authentication mode
MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL.
Found by jethrogb. #864
* Fix implementation of mbedtls_ssl_parse_certificate() to not annihilate
fatal errors in authentication mode MBEDTLS_SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL and to
reflect bad EC curves within verification result.
* Fix bug that caused the modular inversion function to accept the invalid
modulus 1 and therefore to hang. Found by blaufish. #641.
* Fix incorrect sign computation in modular exponentiation when the base is
a negative MPI. Previously the result was always negative. Found by Guido
Vranken.
* Fix a numerical underflow leading to stack overflow in mpi_read_file()
that was triggered uppon reading an empty line. Found by Guido Vranken.
Changes
* Send fatal alerts in more cases. The previous behaviour was to skip
sending the fatal alert and just drop the connection.
* Clarify ECDSA documentation and improve the sample code to avoid
misunderstanding and potentially dangerous use of the API. Pointed out
by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
= mbed TLS 2.5.0 branch released 2017-05-17
Security
* Wipe stack buffers in RSA private key operations
(rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt(), rsa_rsaes_oaep_decrypt). Found by Laurent
Simon.
* Add exponent blinding to RSA private operations as a countermeasure
against side-channel attacks like the cache attack described in
https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.08719v2.
Found and fix proposed by Michael Schwarz, Samuel Weiser, Daniel Gruss,
Clémentine Maurice and Stefan Mangard.
Features
* Add hardware acceleration support for the Elliptic Curve Point module.
This involved exposing parts of the internal interface to enable
replacing the core functions and adding and alternative, module level
replacement support for enabling the extension of the interface.
* Add a new configuration option to 'mbedtls_ssl_config' to enable
suppressing the CA list in Certificate Request messages. The default
behaviour has not changed, namely every configured CAs name is included.
API Changes
* The following functions in the AES module have been deprecated and replaced
by the functions shown below. The new functions change the return type from
void to int to allow returning error codes when using MBEDTLS_AES_ALT,
MBEDTLS_AES_DECRYPT_ALT or MBEDTLS_AES_ENCRYPT_ALT.
mbedtls_aes_decrypt() -> mbedtls_internal_aes_decrypt()
mbedtls_aes_encrypt() -> mbedtls_internal_aes_encrypt()
Bugfix
* Remove macros from compat-1.3.h that correspond to deleted items from most
recent versions of the library. Found by Kyle Keen.
* Fixed issue in the Threading module that prevented mutexes from
initialising. Found by sznaider. #667 #843
* Add checks in the PK module for the RSA functions on 64-bit systems.
The PK and RSA modules use different types for passing hash length and
without these checks the type cast could lead to data loss. Found by Guido
Vranken.
= mbed TLS 2.4.2 branch released 2017-03-08
Security
* Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems. The issue was caused by
some data loss when casting a size_t to an unsigned int value in the
functions rsa_verify_wrap(), rsa_sign_wrap(), rsa_alt_sign_wrap() and
mbedtls_pk_sign(). Found by Jean-Philippe Aumasson.
* Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format in
mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). A string containing a CRL followed by trailing
characters after the footer could result in the execution of an infinite
loop. The issue can be triggered remotely. Found by Greg Zaverucha,
Microsoft.
* Removed MD5 from the allowed hash algorithms for CertificateRequest and
CertificateVerify messages, to prevent SLOTH attacks against TLS 1.2.
Introduced by interoperability fix for #513.
* Fixed a bug that caused freeing a buffer that was allocated on the stack,
when verifying the validity of a key on secp224k1. This could be
triggered remotely for example with a maliciously constructed certificate
and potentially could lead to remote code execution on some platforms.
Reported independently by rongsaws and Aleksandar Nikolic, Cisco Talos
team. #569 CVE-2017-2784
Bugfix
* Fix output certificate verification flags set by x509_crt_verify_top() when
traversing a chain of trusted CA. The issue would cause both flags,
MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED and MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED, to be
set when the verification conditions are not met regardless of the cause.
Found by Harm Verhagen and inestlerode. #665 #561
* Fix the redefinition of macro ssl_set_bio to an undefined symbol
mbedtls_ssl_set_bio_timeout in compat-1.3.h, by removing it.
Found by omlib-lin. #673
* Fix unused variable/function compilation warnings in pem.c, x509_crt.c and
x509_csr.c that are reported when building mbed TLS with a config.h that
does not define MBEDTLS_PEM_PARSE_C. Found by omnium21. #562
* Fix incorrect renegotiation condition in ssl_check_ctr_renegotiate() that
would compare 64 bits of the record counter instead of 48 bits as indicated
in RFC 6347 Section 4.3.1. This could cause the execution of the
renegotiation routines at unexpected times when the protocol is DTLS. Found
by wariua. #687
* Fixed multiple buffer overreads in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer() when parsing
the input string in PEM format to extract the different components. Found
by Eyal Itkin.
* Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in mbedtls_ctr_drbg_reseed() that could
cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
* Fixed potential arithmetic overflows in mbedtls_cipher_update() that could
cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
* Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in mbedtls_md2_update() that could
cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
* Fixed potential arithmetic overflow in mbedtls_base64_decode() that could
cause buffer bound checks to be bypassed. Found by Eyal Itkin.
* Fixed heap overreads in mbedtls_x509_get_time(). Found by Peng
Li/Yueh-Hsun Lin, KNOX Security, Samsung Research America.
* Fix potential memory leak in mbedtls_x509_crl_parse(). The leak was caused
by missing calls to mbedtls_pem_free() in cases when a
MBEDTLS_ERR_PEM_NO_HEADER_FOOTER_PRESENT error was encountered. Found and
fix proposed by Guido Vranken. #722
* Fixed the templates used to generate project and solution files for Visual
Studio 2015 as well as the files themselves, to remove a build warning
generated in Visual Studio 2015. Reported by Steve Valliere. #742
* Fix a resource leak in ssl_cookie, when using MBEDTLS_THREADING_C.
Raised and fix suggested by Alan Gillingham in the mbed TLS forum. #771
* Fix 1 byte buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_write_string() when the MPI
number to write in hexadecimal is negative and requires an odd number of
digits. Found and fixed by Guido Vranken.
* Fix unlisted DES configuration dependency in some pkparse test cases. Found
by inestlerode. #555

Authentication – October 2016
= mbed TLS 2.4.0 branch released 2016-10-17
Security
* Removed the MBEDTLS_SSL_AEAD_RANDOM_IV option, because it was not compliant
with RFC-5116 and could lead to session key recovery in very long TLS
sessions. "Nonce-Disrespecting Adversaries Practical Forgery Attacks on GCM in
TLS" - H. Bock, A. Zauner, S. Devlin, J. Somorovsky, P. Jovanovic.
https://eprint.iacr.org/2016/475.pdf
* Fixed potential stack corruption in mbedtls_x509write_crt_der() and
mbedtls_x509write_csr_der() when the signature is copied to the buffer
without checking whether there is enough space in the destination. The
issue cannot be triggered remotely. Found by Jethro Beekman.
Features
* Added support for CMAC for AES and 3DES and AES-CMAC-PRF-128, as defined by
NIST SP 800-38B, RFC-4493 and RFC-4615.
* Added hardware entropy selftest to verify that the hardware entropy source
is functioning correctly.
* Added a script to print build environment info for diagnostic use in test
scripts, which is also now called by all.sh.
* Added the macro MBEDTLS_X509_MAX_FILE_PATH_LEN that enables the user to
configure the maximum length of a file path that can be buffered when
calling mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path().
* Added a configuration file config-no-entropy.h that configures the subset of
library features that do not require an entropy source.
* Added the macro MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_MIN_HARDWARE in config.h. This allows users
to configure the minimum number of bytes for entropy sources using the
mbedtls_hardware_poll() function.
Bugfix
* Fix for platform time abstraction to avoid dependency issues where a build
may need time but not the standard C library abstraction, and added
configuration consistency checks to check_config.h
* Fix dependency issue in Makefile to allow parallel builds.
* Fix incorrect handling of block lengths in crypt_and_hash.c sample program,
when GCM is used. Found by udf2457. #441

Found by subramanyam-c. #626
* Fix compatibility issue with Internet Explorer client authentication,
where the limited hash choices prevented the client from sending its
certificate. Found by teumas. #513
* Fix compilation without MBEDTLS_SELF_TEST enabled.
Changes
* Extended test coverage of special cases, and added new timing test suite.
* Removed self-tests from the basic-built-test.sh script, and added all
missing self-tests to the test suites, to ensure self-tests are only
executed once.
* Added support for 3 and 4 byte lengths to mbedtls_asn1_write_len().
* Added support for a Yotta specific configuration file -
through the symbol YOTTA_CFG_MBEDTLS_TARGET_CONFIG_FILE.
* Added optimization for code space for X.509/OID based on configured
features. Contributed by Aviv Palivoda.
* Renamed source file library/net.c to library/net_sockets.c to avoid
naming collision in projects which also have files with the common name
net.c. For consistency, the corresponding header file, net.h, is marked as
deprecated, and its contents moved to net_sockets.h.
* Changed the strategy for X.509 certificate parsing and validation, to no
longer disregard certificates with unrecognised fields.
= mbed TLS 2.3.0 branch released 2016-06-28

Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely.
* Fix potential buffer overflow in mbedtls_mpi_read_string().
Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Not exploitable remotely in the context
of TLS, but might be in other uses. On 32 bit machines, requires reading a
string of close to or larger than 1GB to exploit; on 64 bit machines, would
require reading a string of close to or larger than 2^62 bytes.

= mbed TLS 2.0.0 released 2015-07-13
Features
* Support for DTLS 1.0 and 1.2 (RFC 6347).
* Ability to override core functions from MDx, SHAx, AES and DES modules
with custom implementation (eg hardware accelerated), complementing the
ability to override the whole module.
* New server-side implementation of session tickets that rotate keys to
preserve forward secrecy, and allows sharing across multiple contexts.
* Added a concept of X.509 cerificate verification profile that controls
which algorithms and key sizes (curves for ECDSA) are acceptable.
* Expanded configurability of security parameters in the SSL module with
mbedtls_ssl_conf_dhm_min_bitlen() and mbedtls_ssl_conf_sig_hashes().
* Introduced a concept of presets for SSL security-relevant configuration
parameters.
API Changes
* The library has been split into libmbedcrypto, libmbedx509, libmbedtls.
You now need to link to all of them if you use TLS for example.
* All public identifiers moved to the mbedtls_* or MBEDTLS_* namespace.
Some names have been further changed to make them more consistent.
Migration helpers scripts/rename.pl and include/mbedlts/compat-1.3.h are
provided. Full list of renamings in scripts/data_files/rename-1.3-2.0.txt
* Renamings of fields inside structures, not covered by the previous list:
mbedtls_cipher_info_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
mbedtls_cipher_context_t.key_length -> key_bitlen
mbedtls_ecp_curve_info.size -> bit_size
* Headers are now found in the 'mbedtls' directory (previously 'polarssl').
* The following _init() functions that could return errors have
been split into an _init() that returns void and another function that
should generally be the first function called on this context after init:
mbedtls_ssl_init() -> mbedtls_ssl_setup()
mbedtls_ccm_init() -> mbedtls_ccm_setkey()
mbedtls_gcm_init() -> mbedtls_gcm_setkey()
mbedtls_hmac_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_hmac_drbg_seed(_buf)()
mbedtls_ctr_drbg_init() -> mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()
Note that for mbedtls_ssl_setup(), you need to be done setting up the
ssl_config structure before calling it.
* Most ssl_set_xxx() functions (all except ssl_set_bio(), ssl_set_hostname(),
ssl_set_session() and ssl_set_client_transport_id(), plus
ssl_legacy_renegotiation()) have been renamed to mbedtls_ssl_conf_xxx()
(see rename.pl and compat-1.3.h above) and their first argument's type
changed from ssl_context to ssl_config.
* ssl_set_bio() changed signature (contexts merged, order switched, one
additional callback for read-with-timeout).
* The following functions have been introduced and must be used in callback
implementations (SNI, PSK) instead of their *conf counterparts:
mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_own_cert()
mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_ca_chain()
mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk()
* mbedtls_ssl_conf_ca_chain() lost its last argument (peer_cn), now set
using mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname().
* mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_cache() changed prototype (only one context
pointer, parameters reordered).
* On server, mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets_cb() must now be used in
place of mbedtls_ssl_conf_session_tickets() to enable session tickets.
* The SSL debug callback gained two new arguments (file name, line number).
* Debug modes were removed.
* mbedtls_ssl_conf_truncated_hmac() now returns void.
* mbedtls_memory_buffer_alloc_init() now returns void.
* X.509 verification flags are now an uint32_t. Affect the signature of:
mbedtls_ssl_get_verify_result()
mbedtls_x509_ctr_verify_info()
mbedtls_x509_crt_verify() (flags, f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
mbedtls_ssl_conf_verify() (f_vrfy -> needs to be updated)
* The following functions changed prototype to avoid an in-out length
parameter:
mbedtls_base64_encode()
mbedtls_base64_decode()
mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
mbedtls_dhm_calc_secret()
* In the NET module, all "int" and "int *" arguments for file descriptors
changed type to "mbedtls_net_context *".
* net_accept() gained new arguments for the size of the client_ip buffer.
* In the threading layer, mbedtls_mutex_init() and mbedtls_mutex_free() now
return void.
* ecdsa_write_signature() gained an addtional md_alg argument and
ecdsa_write_signature_det() was deprecated.
* pk_sign() no longer accepts md_alg == POLARSSL_MD_NONE with ECDSA.
* Last argument of x509_crt_check_key_usage() and
mbedtls_x509write_crt_set_key_usage() changed from int to unsigned.
* test_ca_list (from certs.h) is renamed to test_cas_pem and is only
available if POLARSSL_PEM_PARSE_C is defined (it never worked without).
* Test certificates in certs.c are no longer guaranteed to be nul-terminated
strings; use the new *_len variables instead of strlen().
* Functions mbedtls_x509_xxx_parse(), mbedtls_pk_parse_key(),
mbedtls_pk_parse_public_key() and mbedtls_dhm_parse_dhm() now expect the
length parameter to include the terminating null byte for PEM input.
* Signature of mpi_mul_mpi() changed to make the last argument unsigned
* calloc() is now used instead of malloc() everywhere. API of platform
layer and the memory_buffer_alloc module changed accordingly.
(Thanks to Mansour Moufid for helping with the replacement.)
* Change SSL_DISABLE_RENEGOTIATION config.h flag to SSL_RENEGOTIATION
(support for renegotiation now needs explicit enabling in config.h).
* Split MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME into MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME and MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE
in config.h
* net_connect() and net_bind() have a new 'proto' argument to choose
between TCP and UDP, using the macros NET_PROTO_TCP or NET_PROTO_UDP.
Their 'port' argument type is changed to a string.
* Some constness fixes
Removals
* Removed mbedtls_ecp_group_read_string(). Only named groups are supported.
* Removed mbedtls_ecp_sub() and mbedtls_ecp_add(), use
mbedtls_ecp_muladd().
* Removed individual mdX_hmac, shaX_hmac, mdX_file and shaX_file functions
(use generic functions from md.h)
* Removed mbedtls_timing_msleep(). Use mbedtls_net_usleep() or a custom
waiting function.
* Removed test DHM parameters from the test certs module.
* Removed the PBKDF2 module (use PKCS5).
* Removed POLARSSL_ERROR_STRERROR_BC (use mbedtls_strerror()).
* Removed compat-1.2.h (helper for migrating from 1.2 to 1.3).
* Removed openssl.h (very partial OpenSSL compatibility layer).
* Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_LONGLONG was removed (now always on).
* Configuration options POLARSSL_HAVE_INT8 and POLARSSL_HAVE_INT16 have
been removed (compiler is required to support 32-bit operations).
* Configuration option POLARSSL_HAVE_IPV6 was removed (always enabled).
* Removed test program o_p_test, the script compat.sh does more.
* Removed test program ssl_test, superseded by ssl-opt.sh.
* Removed helper script active-config.pl
New deprecations
* md_init_ctx() is deprecated in favour of md_setup(), that adds a third
argument (allowing memory savings if HMAC is not used)
Semi-API changes (technically public, morally private)
* Renamed a few headers to include _internal in the name. Those headers are
not supposed to be included by users.
* Changed md_info_t into an opaque structure (use md_get_xxx() accessors).
* Changed pk_info_t into an opaque structure.
* Changed cipher_base_t into an opaque structure.
* Removed sig_oid2 and rename sig_oid1 to sig_oid in x509_crt and x509_crl.
* x509_crt.key_usage changed from unsigned char to unsigned int.
* Removed r and s from ecdsa_context
* Removed mode from des_context and des3_context
Default behavior changes
* The default minimum TLS version is now TLS 1.0.
* RC4 is now blacklisted by default in the SSL/TLS layer, and excluded from the
default ciphersuite list returned by ssl_list_ciphersuites()
* Support for receiving SSLv2 ClientHello is now disabled by default at
compile time.
* The default authmode for SSL/TLS clients is now REQUIRED.
* Support for RSA_ALT contexts in the PK layer is now optional. Since is is
enabled in the default configuration, this is only noticeable if using a
custom config.h
* Default DHM parameters server-side upgraded from 1024 to 2048 bits.
* A minimum RSA key size of 2048 bits is now enforced during ceritificate
chain verification.
* Negotiation of truncated HMAC is now disabled by default on server too.
* The following functions are now case-sensitive:
mbedtls_cipher_info_from_string()
mbedtls_ecp_curve_info_from_name()
mbedtls_md_info_from_string()
mbedtls_ssl_ciphersuite_from_string()
mbedtls_version_check_feature()
Requirement changes
* The minimum MSVC version required is now 2010 (better C99 support).
* The NET layer now unconditionnaly relies on getaddrinfo() and select().
* Compiler is required to support C99 types such as long long and uint32_t.
API changes from the 1.4 preview branch
* ssl_set_bio_timeout() was removed, split into mbedtls_ssl_set_bio() with
new prototype, and mbedtls_ssl_set_read_timeout().
* The following functions now return void:
mbedtls_ssl_conf_transport()
mbedtls_ssl_conf_max_version()
mbedtls_ssl_conf_min_version()
* DTLS no longer hard-depends on TIMING_C, but uses a callback interface
instead, see mbedtls_ssl_set_timer_cb(), with the Timing module providing
an example implementation, see mbedtls_timing_delay_context and
mbedtls_timing_set/get_delay().
* With UDP sockets, it is no longer necessary to call net_bind() again
after a successful net_accept().
Changes
* mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random() and mbedtls_hmac_drbg_random() are now
thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled.
* Reduced ROM fooprint of SHA-256 and added an option to reduce it even
more (at the expense of performance) MBEDTLS_SHA256_SMALLER.
= mbed TLS 1.3 branch
Security
* With authmode set to SSL_VERIFY_OPTIONAL, verification of keyUsage and
extendedKeyUsage on the leaf certificate was lost (results not accessible
via ssl_get_verify_results()).

* Improved Makefiles for Windows targets by fixing library targets and making
cross-compilation easier (thanks to Alon Bar-Lev).
* The benchmark program also prints heap usage for public-key primitives
if POLARSSL_MEMORY_BUFFER_ALLOC_C and POLARSSL_MEMORY_DEBUG are defined.
* New script ecc-heap.sh helps measuring the impact of ECC parameters on
speed and RAM (heap only for now) usage.
* New script memory.sh helps measuring the ROM and RAM requirements of two
reduced configurations (PSK-CCM and NSA suite B).
* Add config flag POLARSSL_DEPRECATED_WARNING (off by default) to produce
warnings on use of deprecated functions (with GCC and Clang only).

= mbed TLS 1.3.10 released 2015-02-09
Security
* NULL pointer dereference in the buffer-based allocator when the buffer is

(found by Hendrik van den Boogaard).
Changes

standard defining how to use SHA-2 with SSL 3.0).
* Ciphersuites using RSA-PSK key exchange new require TLS 1.x (the spec is
ambiguous on how to encode some packets with SSL 3.0).
* Made buffer size in pk_write_(pub)key_pem() more dynamic, eg smaller if
RSA is disabled, larger if POLARSSL_MPI_MAX_SIZE is larger.
* ssl_read() now returns POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ rather than
POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_UNEXPECTED_MESSAGE on harmless alerts.
* POLARSSL_MPI_MAX_SIZE now defaults to 1024 in order to allow 8192 bits
RSA keys.
