Error in AzureIoTHubClient_ProcessLoop

[amolchor20]

Please provide us with the following information:

This issue is for a: (mark with an x)

- [X] bug report -> please search issues before submitting
- [ ] feature request
- [] documentation issue or request
- [ ] regression (a behavior that used to work and stopped in a new release)

Minimal steps to reproduce

Integrate the mbedTLS library in azure middleware to use TLS_send and TLS_recv.
execute the code and connect to IoT hub, wait for AzureIoTHubClient_ProcessLoop function to execute.

Any log messages given by the failure

[2024-01-05_15:29:42:471][ERROR] [TlsTransport] [transport_tls_socket_using_mbedtls.c:904] Failed to read data: mbedTLSError[-8]= : BIGNUM - The buffer is too small to write to.

[2024-01-05_15:29:42:493][ERROR] [MQTT] [core_mqtt.c:2191] Exiting process loop due to failure: ErrorStatus=MQTTRecvFailed

Expected/desired behavior

It should be process the received data and complete the workflow of data receive from cloud/sender.

OS and Version?

Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). macOS (Yosemite? El Capitan? Sierra?)
I am working on stm32u585 board and integrated azure middleware.
to work with TLS_send and TLS_recv I have integrated the mbedTLS 3.4.0 in it.

Versions

mbedTLS 3.4.0

Mention any other details that might be useful

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

This error is coming from the BIGNUM lib in the mbed TLS stack, which is an external component to this repo.

This might be relevant.

@ericwol-msft
Thanks for your reply !!
here are the detailed logs:
basically the processloop error is caused by timeout.

if there is no data from cloud to device, then how the azure middleware will handle the processloop timeout error?
