* Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the hash is too
large for the key size. Found by Seth Terashima, Qualcomm Product
Security Initiative, Qualcomm Technologies Inc.
* Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked
data is all zeros.
* Fix unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
64kB to the address of the SSL buffer wraps around.
* Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write. When the (by
* Fix a heap corruption issue in the implementation of the truncated HMAC
extension. When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
sending a malicious application packet could be used to selectively corrupt
6 bytes on the peer's heap, which could potentially lead to crash or remote
code execution. The issue could be triggered remotely from either side in
both TLS and DTLS. CVE-2018-0488

Qualcomm Technologies Inc. CVE-2018-0487
* Fix buffer overflow in RSA-PSS verification when the unmasked data is all
zeros.
* Fix an unsafe bounds check in ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() when adding
64 KiB to the address of the SSL buffer and causing a wrap around.
* Fix a potential heap buffer overflow in mbedtls_ssl_write(). When the (by
default enabled) maximum fragment length extension is disabled in the
config and the application data buffer passed to mbedtls_ssl_write
is larger than the internal message buffer (16384 bytes by default), the
latter overflows. The exploitability of this issue depends on whether the
application layer can be forced into sending such large packets. The issue
was independently reported by Tim Nordell via e-mail and by Florin Petriuc
and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022. Fixes #707.
* Tighten should-be-constant-time memcmp against compiler optimizations.
and sjorsdewit on GitHub. Fix proposed by Florin Petriuc in #1022.
Fixes #707.
* Add a provision to prevent compiler optimizations breaking the time
constancy of mbedtls_ssl_safer_memcmp().
* Ensure that buffers are cleared after use if they contain sensitive data.
Changes were introduced in multiple places in the library.
* Set PEM buffer to zero before freeing it, to avoid decoded private keys
being leaked to memory after release.
* Fix dhm_check_range() failing to detect trivial subgroups and potentially
leaking 1 bit of the private key. Reported by prashantkspatil.
* Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary constant-time with respect to
the input data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected
and omitted for the sake of saving memory, but potentially
leading to slight timing differences.
Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
* Make mbedtls_mpi_read_binary() constant-time with respect to the input
data. Previously, trailing zero bytes were detected and omitted for the
sake of saving memory, but potentially leading to slight timing
differences. Reported by Marco Macchetti, Kudelski Group.
* Wipe stack buffer temporarily holding EC private exponent
after keypair generation.
* Fix heap corruption in implementation of truncated HMAC extension.
When the truncated HMAC extension is enabled and CBC is used,
sending a malicious application packet can be used to selectively
corrupt 6 bytes on the peer's heap, potentially leading to crash or
remote code execution. This can be triggered remotely from either
side in both TLS and DTLS.
* Fix a potential heap buffer overread in ALPN extension parsing
* Fix a potential heap buffer over-read in ALPN extension parsing
(server-side). Could result in application crash, but only if an ALPN
name larger than 16 bytes had been configured on the server.
* Change default choice of DHE parameters from untrustworthy RFC 5114

API Changes
* Extend RSA interface by multiple functions allowing structure-
independent setup and export of RSA contexts. Most notably,
mbedtls_rsa_import and mbedtls_rsa_complete are introduced for setting
mbedtls_rsa_import() and mbedtls_rsa_complete() are introduced for setting
up RSA contexts from partial key material and having them completed to the
needs of the implementation automatically. This allows to setup private RSA
contexts from keys consisting of N,D,E only, even if P,Q are needed for the
