This update to mbedtls 1.3.19 fixes security issues and bugs.

The following vulnerability was fixed:

CVE-2017-2784: A remote user could have used a specially crafted
certificate to cause mbedtls to free a buffer allocated on the stack when
verifying the validity
of public key with a secp224k1 curve, which could have
allowed remote code execution on some platforms (boo#1029017)

The following non-security changes are included:

  • Add checks to prevent signature forgeries for very large messages while
    using RSA through the PK module in 64-bit systems.
  • Fixed potential livelock during the parsing of a CRL in PEM format
