Description: yaSSL was only handling the cases of zero or

one leading zeros for the key agreement instead of
potentially any number.
There is about 1 in 50,000 connections to fail
when using DHE cipher suites.  The second problem was the
case where a server would send a public value shorter than
the prime value, causing about 1 in 128 client connections
to fail, and also caused the yaSSL client to read off the
end of memory.
All client side DHE cipher suite users should update.
Note: The patch is received from YaSSL people
