Default behavior changes
|
|
* In TLS clients, if mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() has not been called,
|
|
mbedtls_ssl_handshake() now fails with
|
|
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_WITHOUT_HOSTNAME
|
|
if certificate-based authentication of the server is attempted.
|
|
This is because authenticating a server without knowing what name
|
|
to expect is usually insecure.

|
Security
|
|
* Note that TLS clients should generally call mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname()
|
|
if they use certificate authentication (i.e. not pre-shared keys).
|
|
Otherwise, in many scenarios, the server could be impersonated.
|
|
The library will now prevent the handshake and return
|
|
MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_WITHOUT_HOSTNAME
|
|
if mbedtls_ssl_set_hostname() has not been called.
