If you have questions about this release, feel free to contact us on our info@ address.

Release 4.4.0 of wolfSSL embedded TLS has bug fixes and new features including:

New Feature Additions

• Hexagon support.
• DSP builds to offload ECC verify operations.
• Certificate Manager callback support.
• New APIs for running updates to ChaCha20/Poly1305 AEAD.
• Support for use with Apache.
• Add support for IBM s390x.
• PKCS8 support for ED25519.
• OpenVPN support.
• Add P384 curve support to SP.
• Add BIO and EVP API.
• Add AES-OFB mode.
• Add AES-CFB mode.
• Add Curve448, X448, and Ed448.
• Add Renesas Synergy S7G2 build and hardware acceleration.

Fixes

• Fix for RSA public encrypt / private sign with RSA key sizes over 2048-bit.
• Correct misspellings.
• Secure renegotiation fix.
• Fix memory leak when using ATECC and non-SECP256R1 curves for sign, verify, or shared secret.
• Fix for K64 MMCAU with WOLFSSL_SMALL_STACK_CACHE.
• Fix the RSA verify only build.
• Fix in SP C implementation for small stack.
• Fix using the auth key id extension is set, hash might not be present.
• Fix when flattening certificate structure to include the subject alt names.
• Fixes for building with ECC sign/verify only.
• Fix for ECC and no cache resistance.
• Fix memory leak in DSA.
• Fix build on minGW.
• Fix PemToDer() call in ProcessBuffer() to set more than ECC.
• Fix for using RSA without SHA-512.
• Add some close tags to the echoserver HTTP example output.
• Miscellaneous fixes and updates for static analysis reports.
• Fixes for time structure support.
• Fixes for VxWorks support.
• Fixes for Async crypto support.
• Fix cache resist compile to work with SP C code.
• Fixes for Curve25519 x64 asm.
• Fix for SP x64 div.
• Fix for DTLS edge case where CCS and Finished come out of order and the retransmit pool gets flushed.
• Fix for infinite loop in SHA-1 with small inputs. Thanks to Peter W.
• Fix for FIPS Hmac where wc_HmacInit() isn't used. wc_HmacSetKey() needs to initialize the Hmac structure. Type is set to NONE, and checked against NONE, not 0.
• Fixes for SP RSA private operations.
• Fixes for Xilinx SDK and Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC
• Fix leak when building with HAVE_AESGCM and NO_AES_DECRYPT. Thanks G.G.
• Fixes for building ECC without ASN.
• Fix for async TLSv1.3 issues.
• Fix wc_KeyPemToDer() with PKCS1 and empty key.
• Omit -fomit-frame-pointer from CFLAGS in configure.ac.

Improvements/Optimizations

• Example linker description for FIPS builds to enforce object ordering.
• C# wrapper improvements. Added TLS client example and TLSv1.3 methods.
• Allow setting MTU in DTLS.
• Improve PKCS12 create for outputting encrypted bundles.
• Constant time EC map to affine for private operations.
• Improve performance of RSA public key ops with TFM.
• Smaller table version of AES encrypt/decrypt.

• Support AES-CTR with AES-NI.
• Support AES-CTR on esp32.
• Add a no malloc option for small SP math.

This release of wolfSSL includes fixes for 2 security vulnerabilities.

• For fast math, use a constant time modular inverse when mapping to affine when operation involves a private key - keygen, calc shared secret, sign. Thank you to Alejandro Cabrera Aldaya, Cesar Pereida García and Billy Bob Brumley from the Network and Information Security Group (NISEC) at Tampere University for the report.

• Change constant time and cache resistant ECC mulmod. Ensure points being operated on change to make constant time. Thank you to Pietro Borrello at Sapienza University of Rome.
