    X.509: Support parse long form of length octets in Authority Key Identifier · 04b00bdb

    Per X.509 spec in 4.2.1.1 section, the structure of Authority Key
    Identifier Extension is:
    
       AuthorityKeyIdentifier ::= SEQUENCE {
          keyIdentifier             [0] KeyIdentifier           OPTIONAL,
          authorityCertIssuer       [1] GeneralNames            OPTIONAL,
          authorityCertSerialNumber [2] CertificateSerialNumber OPTIONAL  }
    
       KeyIdentifier ::= OCTET STRING
    
    When a certificate also provides
    authorityCertIssuer and authorityCertSerialNumber then the length of
    AuthorityKeyIdentifier SEQUENCE is likely to long form format.
    e.g.
       The example certificate demos/tunala/A-server.pem in openssl source:
    
    X509v3 Authority Key Identifier:
        keyid:49:FB:45:72:12:C4:CC:E1:45:A1:D3:08:9E:95:C4:2C:6D:55:3F:17
        DirName:/C=NZ/L=Wellington/O=Really Irresponsible Authorisation Authority (RIAA)/OU=Cert-stamping/CN=Jackov al-Trades/emailAddress=none@fake.domain
        serial:00
    
    Current parsing rule of OID_authorityKeyIdentifier only take care the
    short form format, it causes load certificate to modsign_keyring fail:
    
    [   12.061147] X.509: Extension: 47
    [   12.075121] MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-74)
    
    So, this patch add the parsing rule for support long form format against
    Authority Key Identifier.
    
    v3:
    Changed the size check in "Short Form length" case, we allow v[3] smaller
    then (vlen - 4) because authorityCertIssuer and authorityCertSerialNumber
    are also possible attach in AuthorityKeyIdentifier sequence.
    
    v2:
     - Removed comma from author's name.
     - Moved 'Short Form length' comment inside the if-body.
     - Changed the type of sub to size_t.
     - Use ASN1_INDEFINITE_LENGTH rather than writing 0x80 and 127.
     - Moved the key_len's value assignment before alter v.
     - Fixed the typo of octets.
     - Add 2 to v before entering the loop for calculate the length.
     - Removed the comment of check vlen.
