CVE-2026-56862

Limit handshake messages we are willing to accept post-handshake in crypto/tls

Description

Handshake messages, such as KeyUpdate, are always considered as state-advancing, regardless of whether a handshake has been completed or not. As a result, a malicious client can keep sending KeyUpdate messages to force the server to keep performing key derivation operations indefinitely.
