mbedtls_mpi_read_binary{,_le} (in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4276)
and mbedtls_mpi_read_string (in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbedtls/pull/4644)
changed their behavior on an empty input from constructing an MPI object with
one limb to not allocating a limb. In principle, this change should be
transparent to applications, however it caused a bug in the library and it does
affect the value when writing back out, so list the change in the changelog.

Changes
|
|
* mbedtls_mpi_read_binary(), mbedtls_mpi_read_binary_le() and
|
|
mbedtls_mpi_read_string() now construct an mbedtls_mpi object with 0 limbs
|
|
when their input has length 0. Note that this is an implementation detail
|
|
and can change at any time, so this change should be transparent, but it
|
|
may result in mbedtls_mpi_write_binary() or mbedtls_mpi_write_string()
|
|
now writing an empty string where it previously wrote one or more
|
|
zero digits when operating from values constructed with an mpi_read
|
|
function and some mpi operations.
