Multiple security issues have been discovered in PolarSSL, a lightweight
crypto and SSL/TLS library:
CVE-2013-4623
Jack Lloyd discovered a denial of service vulnerability in the
parsing of PEM-encoded certificates.
CVE-2013-5914
Paul Brodeur and TrustInSoft discovered a buffer overflow in the
ssl_read_record() function, allowing the potential execution of
arbitrary code.
CVE-2013-5915
Cyril Arnaud and Pierre-Alain Fouque discovered timing attacks against
the RSA implementation.
