### Changes between 3.0.13 and 3.0.14 [xx XXX xxxx]
+ * Fixed an issue where some non-default TLS server configurations can cause
+ unbounded memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions. An attacker may
+ exploit certain server configurations to trigger unbounded memory growth that
+ would lead to a Denial of Service
+
+ This problem can occur in TLSv1.3 if the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option
+ is being used (but not if early_data is also configured and the default
+ anti-replay protection is in use). In this case, under certain conditions,
+ the session cache can get into an incorrect state and it will fail to flush
+ properly as it fills. The session cache will continue to grow in an unbounded
+ manner. A malicious client could deliberately create the scenario for this
+ failure to force a Denial of Service. It may also happen by accident in
+ normal operation.
+
+ ([CVE-2024-2511])
+
+ *Matt Caswell*
+
* New atexit configuration switch, which controls whether the OPENSSL_cleanup
is registered when libcrypto is unloaded. This can be used on platforms
where using atexit() from shared libraries causes crashes on exit.
