  • Add PKCS7/CMS decode support for KARI with IssuerAndSerialNumber
  • Fix ThreadX/NetX warning
  • Fixes for OCSP and CRL non blocking sockets and for incomplete cert chain with OCSP
  • Added RSA PSS sign and verify
  • Fix for STM32F4 AES-GCM
  • Added enable all feature (--enable-all)
  • Added trackmemory feature (--enable-trackmemory)
  • Fixes for AES key wrap and PKCS7 on Windows VS
  • Added benchmark block size argument
  • Support use of staticmemory with PKCS7
  • Fix for Blake2b build with GCC 5.4
  • Fixes for compiling wolfSSL with GCC version 7, most dealing with switch statement fall through warnings.
  • Added warning when compiling without hardened math operations

Note:
There is a known issue with using ChaCha20 AVX assembly on versions of GCC earlier than 5.2. This is encountered with using the wolfSSL enable options --enable-intelasm and --enable-chacha. To avoid this issue ChaCha20 can be enabled with --enable-chacha=noasm.
If using --enable-intelasm and also using --enable-sha224 or --enable-sha256 there is a known issue with trying to use -fsanitize=address.

This release of wolfSSL fixes 1 low level security vulnerability.

Low level fix for a potential DoS attack on a wolfSSL client. Previously a client would accept many warning alert messages without a limit. This fix puts a limit to the number of warning alert messages received and if this limit is reached a fatal error ALERT_COUNT_E is returned. The max number of warning alerts by default is set to 5 and can be adjusted with the macro WOLFSSL_ALERT_COUNT_MAX. Thanks for the report from Tarun Yadav and Koustav Sadhukhan from Defence Research and Development Organization, INDIA.
