Updated

Improper input validation in the TLS 1.3 KeyShareEntry parsing in wolfSSL v5.8.2 on multiple platforms allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial-of-service by sending a crafted ClientHello message containing duplicate KeyShareEntry values for the same supported group, leading to excessive CPU and memory consumption during ClientHello processing.
