mbed TLS ChangeLog (Sorted per branch, date)
= mbed TLS 2.4.1 branch released 2016-12-13
Changes
* Update to CMAC test data, taken from - NIST Special Publication 800-38B -
Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: The CMAC Mode for
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
* Fix for key exchanges based on ECDH-RSA or ECDH-ECDSA which weren't
enabled unless others were also present. Found by David Fernandez. #428
* Fix for out-of-tree builds using CMake. Found by jwurzer, and fix based on
a contribution from Tobias Tangemann. #541
* Fixed cert_app.c sample program for debug output and for use when no root
certificates are provided.
* Fix conditional statement that would cause a 1 byte overread in
mbedtls_asn1_get_int(). Found and fixed by Guido Vranken. #599
* Fixed pthread implementation to avoid unintended double initialisations
and double frees. Found by Niklas Amnebratt.
* Fixed the sample applications gen_key.c, cert_req.c and cert_write.c for
builds where the configuration MBEDTLS_PEM_WRITE_C is not defined. Found
by inestlerode. #559.
* Fix mbedtls_x509_get_sig() to update the ASN1 type in the mbedtls_x509_buf
data structure until after error checks are successful. Found by
subramanyam-c. #622
* Fix documentation and implementation missmatch for function arguments of
mbedtls_gcm_finish(). Found by cmiatpaar. #602
* Guarantee that P>Q at RSA key generation. Found by inestlerode. #558
* Fix potential byte overread when verifying malformed SERVER_HELLO in
ssl_parse_hello_verify_request() for DTLS. Found by Guido Vranken.
* Fix check for validity of date when parsing in mbedtls_x509_get_time().
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
Security
* Fix missing padding length check in mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_decrypt
required by PKCS1 v2.2
* Fix potential integer overflow to buffer overflow in
mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_encrypt and mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_oaep_encrypt
(not triggerable remotely in (D)TLS).
* Fix a potential integer underflow to buffer overread in
mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_oaep_decrypt. It is not triggerable remotely in
SSL/TLS.
Features
* Support for platform abstraction of the standard C library time()
function.
Bugfix
* Fix bug in mbedtls_mpi_add_mpi() that caused wrong results when the three
arguments where the same (in-place doubling). Found and fixed by Janos
Follath. #309
* Fix potential build failures related to the 'apidoc' target, introduced
in the previous patch release. Found by Robert Scheck. #390 #391
* Fix issue in Makefile that prevented building using armar. #386
* Fix memory leak that occured only when ECJPAKE was enabled and ECDHE and
ECDSA was disabled in config.h . The leak didn't occur by default.
* Fix an issue that caused valid certificates to be rejected whenever an
expired or not yet valid certificate was parsed before a valid certificate
in the trusted certificate list.
* Fix bug in mbedtls_x509_crt_parse that caused trailing extra data in the
buffer after DER certificates to be included in the raw representation.
* Fix issue that caused a hang when generating RSA keys of odd bitlength
* Fix bug in mbedtls_rsa_rsaes_pkcs1_v15_encrypt that made null pointer
dereference possible.
* Fix issue that caused a crash if invalid curves were passed to
mbedtls_ssl_conf_curves. #373
* Fix issue in ssl_fork_server which was preventing it from functioning. #429
* Fix memory leaks in test framework
* Fix test in ssl-opt.sh that does not run properly with valgrind
* Fix unchecked calls to mmbedtls_md_setup(). Fix by Brian Murray. #502
Changes
* On ARM platforms, when compiling with -O0 with GCC, Clang or armcc5,
don't use the optimized assembly for bignum multiplication. This removes
the need to pass -fomit-frame-pointer to avoid a build error with -O0.
* Disabled SSLv3 in the default configuration.
* Optimized mbedtls_mpi_zeroize() for MPI integer size. (Fix by Alexey
Skalozub).
* Fix non-compliance server extension handling. Extensions for SSLv3 are now
ignored, as required by RFC6101.
= mbed TLS 2.2.1 released 2016-01-05
Security
* Fix potential double free when mbedtls_asn1_store_named_data() fails to
allocate memory. Only used for certificate generation, not triggerable
remotely in SSL/TLS. Found by Rafał Przywara. #367
* Disable MD5 handshake signatures in TLS 1.2 by default to prevent the
SLOTH attack on TLS 1.2 server authentication (other attacks from the
SLOTH paper do not apply to any version of mbed TLS or PolarSSL).
https://www.mitls.org/pages/attacks/SLOTH
Bugfix
* Fix over-restrictive length limit in GCM. Found by Andreas-N. #362
* Fix bug in certificate validation that caused valid chains to be rejected
when the first intermediate certificate has pathLenConstraint=0. Found by
Nicholas Wilson. Introduced in mbed TLS 2.2.0. #280
* Removed potential leak in mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_sign(), found by
JayaraghavendranK. #372
* Fix suboptimal handling of unexpected records that caused interop issues
with some peers over unreliable links. Avoid dropping an entire DTLS
datagram if a single record in a datagram is unexpected, instead only
drop the record and look at subsequent records (if any are present) in
the same datagram. Found by jeannotlapin. #345
= mbed TLS 2.2.0 released 2015-11-04
Security
* Fix potential double free if mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() is called more than
once and some allocation fails. Cannot be forced remotely. Found by Guido
Vranken, Intelworks.
* Fix potential heap corruption on Windows when
mbedtls_x509_crt_parse_path() is passed a path longer than 2GB. Cannot be
triggered remotely. Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks.
* Fix potential buffer overflow in some asn1_write_xxx() functions.
Cannot be triggered remotely unless you create X.509 certificates based
on untrusted input or write keys of untrusted origin. Found by Guido
Vranken, Intelworks.
* The X509 max_pathlen constraint was not enforced on intermediate
certificates. Found by Nicholas Wilson, fix and tests provided by
Janos Follath. #280 and #319
Features
* Experimental support for EC J-PAKE as defined in Thread 1.0.0.
Disabled by default as the specification might still change.
* Added a key extraction callback to accees the master secret and key
block. (Potential uses include EAP-TLS and Thread.)
Bugfix
* Self-signed certificates were not excluded from pathlen counting,
resulting in some valid X.509 being incorrectly rejected. Found and fix
provided by Janos Follath. #319
* Fix build error with configurations where ECDHE-PSK is the only key
exchange. Found and fix provided by Chris Hammond. #270
* Fix build error with configurations where RSA, RSA-PSK, ECDH-RSA or
ECHD-ECDSA if the only key exchange. Multiple reports. #310
* Fixed a bug causing some handshakes to fail due to some non-fatal alerts
not being properly ignored. Found by mancha and Kasom Koht-arsa, #308
* mbedtls_x509_crt_verify(_with_profile)() now also checks the key type and
size/curve against the profile. Before that, there was no way to set a
minimum key size for end-entity certificates with RSA keys. Found by
Matthew Page of Scannex Electronics Ltd.
* Fix failures in MPI on Sparc(64) due to use of bad assembly code.
Found by Kurt Danielson. #292
* Fix typo in name of the extKeyUsage OID. Found by inestlerode, #314
* Fix bug in ASN.1 encoding of booleans that caused generated CA
certificates to be rejected by some applications, including OS X
Keychain. Found and fixed by Jonathan Leroy, Inikup.
Changes
* Improved performance of mbedtls_ecp_muladd() when one of the scalars is 1
or -1.
= mbed TLS 2.1.2 released 2015-10-06
Security
* Added fix for CVE-2015-5291 to prevent heap corruption due to buffer
overflow of the hostname or session ticket. Found by Guido Vranken,
Intelworks.
* Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_ssl_set_hs_psk() is called more than
once in the same handhake and mbedtls_ssl_conf_psk() was used.
Found and patch provided by Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced
remotely.
* Fix stack buffer overflow in pkcs12 decryption (used by
mbedtls_pk_parse_key(file)() when the password is > 129 bytes.
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.
* Fix potential random memory allocation in mbedtls_pem_read_buffer()
on crafted PEM input data. Found and fix provided by Guido Vranken,
Intelworks. Not triggerable remotely in TLS. Triggerable remotely if you
accept PEM data from an untrusted source.
* Fix possible heap buffer overflow in base64_encoded() when the input
buffer is 512MB or larger on 32-bit platforms. Found by Guido Vranken,
Intelworks. Not trigerrable remotely in TLS.
* Fix potential double-free if mbedtls_conf_psk() is called repeatedly on
the same mbedtls_ssl_config object and memory allocation fails. Found by
Guido Vranken, Intelworks. Cannot be forced remotely.
* Fix potential heap buffer overflow in servers that perform client
authentication against a crafted CA cert. Cannot be triggered remotely
unless you allow third parties to pick trust CAs for client auth.
Found by Guido Vranken, Intelworks.
Bugfix
* Fix compile error in net.c with musl libc. Found and patch provided by
zhasha (#278).
* Fix macroization of 'inline' keyword when building as C++. (#279)
Changes
* Added checking of hostname length in mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() to ensure
domain names are compliant with RFC 1035.
* Fixed paths for check_config.h in example config files. (Found by bachp)
(#291)
= mbed TLS 2.1.1 released 2015-09-17
Security
* Add countermeasure against Lenstra's RSA-CRT attack for PKCS#1 v1.5
signatures. (Found by Florian Weimer, Red Hat.)
https://securityblog.redhat.com/2015/09/02/factoring-rsa-keys-with-tls-perfect-forward-secrecy/
* Fix possible client-side NULL pointer dereference (read) when the client
tries to continue the handshake after it failed (a misuse of the API).
(Found and patch provided by Fabian Foerg, Gotham Digital Science using
afl-fuzz.)
Bugfix
* Fix warning when using a 64bit platform. (found by embedthis) (#275)
* Fix off-by-one error in parsing Supported Point Format extension that
caused some handshakes to fail.
Changes
* Made X509 profile pointer const in mbedtls_ssl_conf_cert_profile() to allow
use of mbedtls_x509_crt_profile_next. (found by NWilson)
* When a client initiates a reconnect from the same port as a live
connection, if cookie verification is available
(MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_HELLO_VERIFY defined in config.h, and usable cookie
callbacks set with mbedtls_ssl_conf_dtls_cookies()), this will be
detected and mbedtls_ssl_read() will return
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CLIENT_RECONNECT - it is then possible to start a new
handshake with the same context. (See RFC 6347 section 4.2.8.)
= mbed TLS 2.1.0 released 2015-09-04
Features
* Added support for yotta as a build system.
* Primary open source license changed to Apache 2.0 license.
Bugfix
* Fix segfault in the benchmark program when benchmarking DHM.
* Fix build error with CMake and pre-4.5 versions of GCC (found by Hugo
Leisink).
* Fix bug when parsing a ServerHello without extensions (found by David
Sears).
* Fix bug in CMake lists that caused libmbedcrypto.a not to be installed
(found by Benoit Lecocq).

installed (found by Rawi666).
* Fix compile error with armcc 5 with --gnu option.
* Fix bug in Makefile that caused programs not to be installed correctly
(found by robotanarchy) (#232).
* Fix bug in Makefile that prevented from installing without building the
tests (found by robotanarchy) (#232).
* Fix missing -static-libgcc when building shared libraries for Windows
with make.
* Fix link error when building shared libraries for Windows with make.
* Fix error when loading libmbedtls.so.
* Fix bug in mbedtls_ssl_conf_default() that caused the default preset to
be always used (found by dcb314) (#235)
* Fix bug in mbedtls_rsa_public() and mbedtls_rsa_private() that could
result trying to unlock an unlocked mutex on invalid input (found by
Fredrik Axelsson) (#257)
* Fix -Wshadow warnings (found by hnrkp) (#240)
* Fix memory corruption on client with overlong PSK identity, around
SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN or higher - not triggerrable remotely (found by
Aleksandrs Saveljevs) (#238)
* Fix unused function warning when using MBEDTLS_MDx_ALT or
MBEDTLS_SHAxxx_ALT (found by Henrik) (#239)
* Fix memory corruption in pkey programs (found by yankuncheng) (#210)
Changes
* The PEM parser now accepts a trailing space at end of lines (#226).
* It is now possible to #include a user-provided configuration file at the
end of the default config.h by defining MBEDTLS_USER_CONFIG_FILE on the
compiler's command line.
* When verifying a certificate chain, if an intermediate certificate is
trusted, no later cert is checked. (suggested by hannes-landeholm)
(#220).
* Prepend a "thread identifier" to debug messages (issue pointed out by
Hugo Leisink) (#210).
* Add mbedtls_ssl_get_max_frag_len() to query the current maximum fragment
length.
= 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()).
* Add countermeasure against "Lucky 13 strikes back" cache-based attack,
https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2714625
Features
* Improve ECC performance by using more efficient doubling formulas
(contributed by Peter Dettman).
* Add x509_crt_verify_info() to display certificate verification results.
* Add support for reading DH parameters with privateValueLength included
(contributed by Daniel Kahn Gillmor).

ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
after the handshake.
