Hi Jouni,

thank you for your feedback. We are aware of the issue with TLS 1.3 in 
wpa_supplicant with wolfSSL. We have put in work to fix this and I am 
preparing another patch that will add TLS 1.3 support along with a few 
other new features when using wolfSSL as the crypto/TLS backend.

This memory leak hasn't been reported before. I will fix it and include 
it in the upcoming patch.

Sincerely
Juliusz Sosinowicz
