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.

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.
Registered OCSP responders should return VALIDATION_SKIPPED for issuer
certificates they are not responsible for. However, VALIDATION_FAILED is
currently treated the same way, so that's fine as well.
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.

This allows preventing peers from authenticating with certificates
that are locally trusted, in particular, our own local certificate (which
safeguards against accidental reuse of certificates on multiple peers).
On the other hand, if this option is enabled, end-entity certificates
for peers can't be configured anymore explicitly (e.g. via remote.certs
in swanctl.conf).
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.
We can't actually explicitly listen for errors by passing POLLERR in
`events` (the man page for poll() clearly states it's ignored). On the
other hand, POLLERR can be returned for any FD and, even worse, it might
be the only event indicated.
The latter caused an infinite loop as we didn't notify the callback nor
clear the error by calling `getsockopt(..., SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, ...)`.
And while the latter would be able to reset the state to break the loop,
it seems to leave the FD in a defunct state where no further events will
be returned by poll(). Notifying the callback works better (the error
is then reported by e.g. recvfrom()) and automatically happened already
if POLLERR was returned together with e.g. POLLIN.
So we now treat POLLERR like the other error indicators we handle (POLLHUP
and POLLINVAL) and just notify the callbacks.
The all-zero Ed25519 public key is rejected by botan_pubkey_check_key()
when the key is loaded.
Note that Botan 3 requires GCC 11 or CLANG 14, i.e. can't easily be built
on Debian bullseye or Ubuntu 20.04.
The thread-local storage function gets flagged via various botan FFI
functions when using Botan 3, whitelist that instead of all of them.
