PolarSSL 1.3.9 released [1].
From release notes:
...
On the security front this release fixes a mistake in the negotiation introduced in PolarSSL 1.3.8.

addition two remotely-triggerable memory leaks were found by the Codenomicon Defensics tool and 
fixed in this release.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

CVE-2014-8627 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-8627):
  PolarSSL 1.3.8 does not properly negotiate the signature algorithm to use,
  which allows remote attackers to conduct downgrade attacks via unspecified
  vectors.
