I pushed an update to #DOStodon (the #Mastodon client for MS-DOS):

- Updated #curl to 8.14.1
- Updated #mbedTLS to 3.6.4
- Enabled HTTP 3xx redirections

Grab it at https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOStodon

Screenshot is showing both, the DOS ( @DOSBox_Staging ) and the the win32 version (Win10).

I updated #mbedTLS and #curl in #DOjS. This one took a lot longer than I expected because curl dropped Makefile.mk builds and I had to switch to #CMake or #autconf.
I went with CMake, but had to work around some weird problems.

#MSDOS and #Linux build are already green again, I'll tackle #win32 later...

An #mbedTLS bug I reported in 2016 was now in 2025 published as a CVE.

Better late than never I guess!

Today's bug is an `mbedtls` bug: https://github.com/Mbed-TLS/mbedtls/issues/9814

There `mbedtls` used uninitialized data in `HMAC` code. The bug is exposed by `gcc-15` optimization to initialize less when handling unions in code like:

union {
int dummy;
struct { int fs[4]; } s;
} v = { 0 };
return v.s.fs[3];

`gcc-14` used to always return `0` here. `gcc-15` returns garbage.

I wrote a few extra words at https://trofi.github.io/posts/328-c-union-init-and-gcc-15.html to look at the breakage mechanics.
