    * Fix bug in certificate validation that caused valid chains to be rejected
      when the first intermediate certificate has pathLenConstraint=0. Found by
      Nicholas Wilson. Introduced in mbed TLS 2.1.4. #280
+   * Removed potential leak in mbedtls_rsa_rsassa_pkcs1_v15_sign(), found by

    * To avoid dropping an entire DTLS datagram if a single record in a datagram
      is invalid, we now only drop the record and look at subsequent records (if
      any are present) in the same datagram to avoid interoperability issues.
