Some servers might not support a length of 32 and return a malformed
request error. Lowering the value to the previous default of 16 could
help in that case.
The two OPTs that were used previously allowed to omit it completely (hence
the fallback to ID_ANY), but that's invalid, so it's better to fail
parsing.
The has_issuer() and issued_by() methods relied on it to be defined, so
if the OCSP response wasn't successful (i.e. OCSP status indicates an
error and no OCSP response is parsed), a null-pointer dereference was
caused if the caller checked if the OCSP response was issued by a
specific certificate.
That's a side-effect of the referenced commit. Previously, error codes
caused the OCSP response to not get parsed successfully, which technically
wasn't correct as it's well formed and successfully parsed, it's just
indicating an error state.
Fixes: 00ab8d62c0 ("x509: Support generation of OCSP responses")
Instead of the CA certificate's subjectKeyIdentifier erroneously
the CA's authorityKeyIdentifier was used as the authorityKeyIdentfier
of the certificate to be issued. This might work with a root CA
where the authorityKeyIdentifier equals its subjectKeyIdentfier
but introduces a severe regression when an intermediate CA is used.
The openxpki plugin directly access the certificates table in
the OpenXPKI's MariaDB in order to retrieve the status of an
issued X.509 certificate based on its serial number.
Instead of just generating an authorityKeyIdentifier based on the
issuer's public key, this allows CA certificates to be issued by a
different tool that doesn't use a SHA-1 hash of the subjectPublicKey
for the subjectKeyIdentifier.

These are not allowed in X.509 certificates according to RFC 5480 and
some newer validations apparently explicitly check for this.
Note that WolfSSL rejects such keys, by default. Only when compiled with
WOLFSSL_NO_ASN_STRICT are they accepted.
For the legacy schemes with rsaEncryption nothing changes, but if an
actual signature scheme is encoded we use that to find the key and
verify the signature.
The descriptions for the PKCS#7 structure are adapted for CMS.
Some encoders, like those provided by the dnskey and sshkey plugins,
require these separately when encoding keys.
Also fixes the type for the ASN.1 encoding (which is a subjectPublicKeyInfo
structure) depending on the key type. This worked fine for PEM encoding
as the pem plugin doesn't care what the actual type of the key is (which
is encoded in the SPKI structure), but other plugins do (e.g. the sshkey
plugin).
We don't have any information on the issuer of cached OCSP responses, in
particular if the OCSP response is issued by a dedicated OCSP signer,
whose certificate might not be contained in the response or even signed
by the same CA but could just be locally installed. So the only way to
determine if a response applies to the current certificate and its CA
is searching for the response's issuer certificate and verifying that.
However, when using multiple CAs that provide revocation checking via
OCSP, in particular with multi-level CAs (e.g. like the
ikev2-multi-ca/ocsp-signers test scenario), we might have unrelated OCSP
responses in the cache when verifying a particular certificate. In this
case we don't need any confusing
ocsp response verification failed, no signer certificate '...' found
error messages because the response was for a different CA.
Similarly, if lots of clients of the same CA connect there could be lots
of OCSP responses in the cache that, while being applicable to the current
CA, don't have any information on the certificate we are currently
checking. In this case all the
ocsp response correctly signed by "..."
ocsp response contains no status on our certificate
messages don't provide any value.
In the mentioned test scenario, we suppress the
ocsp response verification failed, no signer certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, OU=Research OCSP Signing Authority, CN=ocsp.research.strongswan.org' found
message from the cached OCSP response for carol's end-entity certificate
when verifying the "Research" intermediate CA certificate that issued
carol's certificate.
Then the
ocsp response verification failed, no signer certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, OU=Research OCSP Signing Authority, CN=ocsp.research.strongswan.org' found
ocsp response verification failed, no signer certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, OU=OCSP Signing Authority, CN=ocsp.strongswan.org' found
messages from the cached OCSP responses for carol's end-entity and
intermediate CA certificates when verifying dave's end-entity certificate.
And finally the
ocsp response verification failed, no signer certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, OU=Research OCSP Signing Authority, CN=ocsp.research.strongswan.org' found
ocsp response correctly signed by "C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, OU=OCSP Signing Authority, CN=ocsp.strongswan.org"
ocsp response contains no status on our certificate
ocsp response verification failed, no signer certificate 'C=CH, O=strongSwan Project, OU=Sales OCSP Signing Authority, CN=ocsp.sales.strongswan.org' found
messages from the cached OCSP responses for carol's end-entity
certificate, the applicable but unrelated response for carol's "Research"
intermediate CA certificate and the response for dave's end-entity
certificate when verifying dave's "Sales" intermediate CA.
