Vulnerability Fix:
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.
