  • Fixes for TLS 1.3, support for Draft 21
  • TLS 1.0 disabled by default, addition of “--enable-tlsv10” configure option
  • New option to reduce SHA-256 code size at expense of performance
    (USE_SLOW_SHA256)
  • New option for memory reduced build (--enable-lowresource)
  • AES-GCM performance improvements on AVX1 (IvyBridge) and AVX2
  • SHA-256 and SHA-512 performance improvements using AVX1/2 ASM
  • SHA-3 size and performance optimizations
  • Fixes for Intel AVX2 builds on Mac/OSX
  • Intel assembly for Curve25519, and Ed25519 performance optimizations
  • New option to force 32-bit mode with “--enable-32bit”
  • New option to disable all inline assembly with “--disable-asm”
  • Ability to override maximum signature algorithms using WOLFSSL_MAX_SIGALGO
  • Fixes for handling of unsupported TLS extensions.
  • Fixes for compiling AES-GCM code with GCC 4.8.*
  • Allow adjusting static I/O buffer size with WOLFMEM_IO_SZ
  • Fixes for building without a filesystem

  • Adds ability to disable PKCS#7 EncryptedData type (NO_PKCS7_ENCRYPTED_DATA)
  • Add ability to get client-side SNI
  • Expanded OpenSSL compatibility layer
  • Fix for logging file names with OpenSSL compatibility layer enabled, with
    WOLFSSL_MAX_ERROR_SZ user-overridable
  • Adds static memory support to the wolfSSL example client
  • Fixes for sniffer to use TLS 1.2 client method
  • Adds option to wolfCrypt benchmark to benchmark individual algorithms
  • Adds option to wolfCrypt benchmark to display benchmarks in powers
    of 10 (-base10)
  • Updated Visual Studio for ARM builds (for ECC supported curves and SHA-384)
  • Updated Texas Instruments TI-RTOS build
  • Updated STM32 CubeMX build with fixes for SHA
  • Updated IAR EWARM project files
  • Updated Apple Xcode projects with the addition of a benchmark example project

This release of wolfSSL fixes 1 security vulnerability.

wolfSSL is cited in the recent ROBOT Attack by Böck, Somorovsky, and Young.
The paper notes that wolfSSL only gives a weak oracle without a practical
attack but this is still a flaw. This release contains a fix for this report.
Please note that wolfSSL has static RSA cipher suites disabled by default as
of version 3.6.6 because of the lack of perfect forward secrecy. Only users
who have explicitly enabled static RSA cipher suites with WOLFSSL_STATIC_RSA
and use those suites on a host are affected. More information will be
available on our website at:

See INSTALL file for build instructions.
