CVE-2022-35409: Critical severity Arm mbed TLS vulnerability
An issue was discovered in Mbed TLS before 2.28.1 and 3.x before 3.2.0. In some configurations, an unauthenticated attacker can send an invalid ClientHello message to a DTLS server that causes a heap-based buffer over-read of up to 255 bytes. This can cause a server crash or possibly information disclosure based on error responses. Affected configurations have MBEDTLSSSLDTLSCLIENTPORTREUSE enabled and MBEDTLSSSLINCONTENTLEN less than a threshold that depends on the configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtlssslcookiecheck, and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
