DTLS can handle out of order record delivery. Additionally since
handshake messages can be bigger than will fit into a single packet, the
messages can be fragmented across multiple records (as with normal TLS).
That means that the messages can arrive mixed up, and we have to
reassemble them. We keep a queue of buffered messages that are "from the
future", i.e. messages we're not ready to deal with yet but have arrived
early. The messages held there may not be full yet - they could be one
or more fragments that are still in the process of being reassembled.
The code assumes that we will eventually complete the reassembly and
when that occurs the complete message is removed from the queue at the
point that we need to use it.
However, DTLS is also tolerant of packet loss. To get around that DTLS
messages can be retransmitted. If we receive a full (non-fragmented)
message from the peer after previously having received a fragment of
that message, then we ignore the message in the queue and just use the
non-fragmented version. At that point the queued message will never get
removed.
Additionally the peer could send "future" messages that we never get to
in order to complete the handshake. Each message has a sequence number
(starting from 0). We will accept a message fragment for the current
message sequence number, or for any sequence up to 10 into the future.
However if the Finished message has a sequence number of 2, anything
greater than that in the queue is just left there.
So, in those two ways we can end up with "orphaned" data in the queue
that will never get removed - except when the connection is closed. At
that point all the queues are flushed.
An attacker could seek to exploit this by filling up the queues with
lots of large messages that are never going to be used in order to
attempt a DoS by memory exhaustion.
I will assume that we are only concerned with servers here. It does not
seem reasonable to be concerned about a memory exhaustion attack on a
client. They are unlikely to process enough connections for this to be
an issue.
A "long" handshake with many messages might be 5 messages long (in the
incoming direction), e.g. ClientHello, Certificate, ClientKeyExchange,
CertificateVerify, Finished. So this would be message sequence numbers 0
to 4. Additionally we can buffer up to 10 messages in the future.
Therefore the maximum number of messages that an attacker could send
that could get orphaned would typically be 15.
The maximum size that a DTLS message is allowed to be is defined by
max_cert_list, which by default is 100k. Therefore the maximum amount of
"orphaned" memory per connection is 1500k.
Message sequence numbers get reset after the Finished message, so
renegotiation will not extend the maximum number of messages that can be
orphaned per connection.
As noted above, the queues do get cleared when the connection is closed.
Therefore in order to mount an effective attack, an attacker would have
to open many simultaneous connections.

DTLSv1_client_method() is deprecated, but it was the only way to obtain
DTLS1_BAD_VER support. The SSL_OP_CISCO_ANYCONNECT hack doesn't work with
DTLS_client_method(), and it's relatively non-trivial to make it work without
expanding the hack into lots of places.
So deprecate SSL_OP_CISCO_ANYCONNECT with DTLSv1_client_method(), and make
it work with SSL_CTX_set_{min,max}_proto_version(DTLS1_BAD_VER) instead.

DTLS version numbers are strange and backwards, except DTLS1_BAD_VER so
we have to make a special case for it.
This does leave us with a set of macros which will evaluate their arguments
more than once, but it's not a public-facing API and it's not like this is

The write BIO for handshake messages is bufferred so that we only write
out to the network when we have a complete flight. There was some
complexity in the buffering logic so that we switched buffering on and
off at various points through out the handshake. The only real reason to
do this was historically it complicated the state machine when you wanted
to flush because you had to traverse through the "flush" state (in order
to cope with NBIO). Where we knew up front that there was only going to
be one message in the flight we switched off buffering to avoid that.
In the new state machine there is no longer a need for a flush state so
it is simpler just to have buffering on for the whole handshake. This
also gives us the added benefit that we can simply call flush after every
flight even if it only has one message in it. This means that BIO authors
can implement their own buffering strategies and not have to be aware of
the state of the SSL object (previously they would have to switch off
their own buffering during the handshake because they could not rely on
a flush being received when they really needed to write data out). This
last point addresses GitHub Issue #322.

also simplify the interface to SSL_{,CTX_}_enable_ct() which can
specify either a permissive mode that just collects information or
a strict mode that requires at least one valid SCT or else asks to
abort the connection.
Simplified SCT processing and options in s_client(1) which now has
just a simple pair of "-noct" vs. "-ct" options, the latter enables
the permissive callback so that we can complete the handshake and

Use the new pipeline cipher capability to encrypt multiple records being
written out all in one go. Two new SSL/SSL_CTX parameters can be used to
control how this works: max_pipelines and split_send_fragment.
max_pipelines defines the maximum number of pipelines that can ever be used
in one go for a single connection. It must always be less than or equal to
SSL_MAX_PIPELINES (currently defined to be 32). By default only one
pipeline will be used (i.e. normal non-parallel operation).
split_send_fragment defines how data is split up into pipelines. The number
of pipelines used will be determined by the amount of data provided to the
SSL_write call divided by split_send_fragment. For example if
split_send_fragment is set to 2000 and max_pipelines is 4 then:
SSL_write called with 0-2000 bytes == 1 pipeline used
SSL_write called with 2001-4000 bytes == 2 pipelines used
SSL_write called with 4001-6000 bytes == 3 pipelines used
SSL_write_called with 6001+ bytes == 4 pipelines used
split_send_fragment must always be less than or equal to max_send_fragment.
By default it is set to be equal to max_send_fragment. This will mean that
the same number of records will always be created as would have been
created in the non-parallel case, although the data will be apportioned
differently. In the parallel case data will be spread equally between the
pipelines.
