* Fix a buffer overread in DTLS ClientHello parsing in servers with
MBEDTLS_SSL_DTLS_CLIENT_PORT_REUSE enabled. An unauthenticated client
or a man-in-the-middle could cause a DTLS server to read up to 255 bytes
after the end of the SSL input buffer. The buffer overread only happens
when MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN is less than a threshold that depends on
the exact configuration: 258 bytes if using mbedtls_ssl_cookie_check(),
and possibly up to 571 bytes with a custom cookie check function.
If the function provider deliberately omits these size checks, he/she
is responsible for the negative impact on his/her code.
