DTLS 1.2 broken in version 1.77; handshake finished sends hello_request instead of change_cipher_spec and finished

[mondain]

There is a bug in DtlsRecordLayer.send(byte[] buf, int off, int len) link when called with a HandshakeType.finished does not send change_cipher_spec nor finished and instead only sends hello_request. This prevent an DTLS client implementations from connecting to a DTLS 1.2 servers.

In DTLSClientProtocol around line 326 is where the call initiates:

        securityParameters.localVerifyData = TlsUtils.calculateVerifyData(clientContext, handshake.getHandshakeHash(),
            false);
        handshake.sendMessage(HandshakeType.finished, securityParameters.getLocalVerifyData());

Also in addition to this issue in the same class, I believe there is a typo at line 101 where the commented out line is actually more correct (if works where while does not):

        // TODO Consider stricter HelloVerifyRequest protocol
//        if (serverMessage.getType() == HandshakeType.hello_verify_request)
        while (serverMessage.getType() == HandshakeType.hello_verify_request)

Truncated log output:

From the client end after we've received the server_hello_done and have sent up-to certificate_verify:
