Commit 27756b081c (revocation: Check that nonce in OCSP response matches)
introduced strict nonce validation to prevent replay attacks with OCSP
responses having a longer lifetime. However, many commercial CAs (such as
Digicert) do not support nonces in responses, as they reuse once-issued OCSP
responses for the OCSP lifetime. This can be problematic for replay attack
scenarios, but is nothing we can fix at our end.
With the mentioned commit, such OCSP responses get completely unusable,
requiring the fallback to CRL based revocation. CRLs don't provide any
replay protection either, so there is nothing gained security-wise, but may
require a download of several megabytes CRL data.
To make use of replay protection where available, but fix OCSP verification
where it is not, do nonce verification only if the response actually contains
a nonce. To be safe against replay attacks, one has to fix the OCSP responder
or use a different CA, but this is not something we can enforce.
Fixes#3557.
The x509 plugin accepted CRL signers since forever, to be precise, since
dffb176f2b ("CRLSign keyUsage or CA basicConstraint are sufficient
for CRL validation")).

The main intention here is that we can change the hashtable_t
implementation without being impeded by the special requirements imposed
by get_match() and sorting the keys/items in buckets.
If cards/libraries don't support signature mechanisms with hashing, we fall
back to do it ourselves in software and pass the PKCS#1 digestInfo ASN.1
structure to sign via CKM_RSA_PKCS mechanism.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#168.
OpenSSL currently doesn't support squeezing bytes out of an XOF multiple
times. Unfortunately, EVP_DigestFinalXOF() completely resets the context
and later calls not simply fail, they cause a null-pointer dereference in
libcrypto. This fixes the crash at the cost of repeating initializing
the whole state and allocating too much data for subsequent calls.
There is an open issue and PR that might add a function that allows
squeezing more data from an XOF in a future version of OpenSSL.
Doing this for the self-signed check also (i.e. if this and issuer are
the same) is particularly useful if the issuer uses a different key type.
Otherwise, we'd try to verify the signature with an incompatible key
that would result in a log message.
Fixes#3357.
There are a ton of libsoup/GLib-related "leaks" that we can't whitelist
and with leak detective active there is a delay that interestingly doesn't
happen with soup_session_sync_new(), so tests failed with a timeout (actually
they hung due to the lock in the fetcher manager).
On Travis, the curl plugin is used for the tests, so that's not an issue
there (and without LD the tests complete quickly and successfully).
As noted in 8ea13bbc5c newer compilers might optimize out the
assignment leading to invalid values in the keyUsage extension (as the
length was still set, the extension was encoded, just not with the
intended values).
Fixes#3249.
Without this we only would learn that the algorithm isn't actually
available (e.g. due to FIPS mode) when set_key() is called later, so there
isn't any automatic fallback to other implementations.
Fixes#3284.
Resolves conflicts with building against wolfSSL when
`--enable-opensslextra` is set, namely the `WOLFSSL_HMAC_H_`,
`RNG` and `ASN1_*` name conflicts.
Closesstrongswan/strongswan#151.
According to the documentation, it's generally not necessary to manually
seed OpenSSL's DRBG (and it actually can cause the daemon to lock up
during start up on systems with low entropy if OpenSSL is already trying
to seed it itself and holds the lock). While that might already have been
the case with earlier versions, it's not explicitly stated in their
documentation. So we keep the code for these versions.
