| Descripción | secp384r1 (P-384) Certificate Verification Bypass in Mongoose v7.20 mTLS
mg_tls_verify_cert_signature() returns 1 without checking when the issuer CA has a P-384 public key (96 bytes). This means ANY such client certificate is accepted by an mTLS server,

### Impact
mTLS based authentication bypass.
### Disclosure
Vendor contacted Feb 26 and CONFIRMED the vulnerability.
### Exploit
Due to the nature of the library, I could not target a single device or hardware configuration, so I had to create one myself via qemu.
