[PATCH] X.509: unpack RSA signatureValue field from BIT STRING

[PATCH] X.509: unpack RSA signatureValue field from BIT STRING

[Maciej S. Szmigiero]

The signatureValue field of a X.509 certificate is encoded as a BIT STRING.
For RSA signatures this BIT STRING is of so-called primitive subtype, which
contains a u8 prefix indicating a count of unused bits in the encoding.

We have to strip this prefix from signature data, just as we already do for
key data in x509_extract_key_data() function.

This wasn't noticed earlier because this prefix byte is zero for RSA key
sizes divisible by 8. Since BIT STRING is a big-endian encoding adding zero
prefixes has no bearing on its value.

The signature length, however was incorrect, which is a problem for RSA
implementations that need it to be exactly correct (like AMD CCP).

This is a resend without changes of a patch that was previously
submitted in one series with CCP driver changes since this particular
patch should go through the security (rather than crypto) tree.

I'm going to change this to '== 0' rather than '!'.

No problem.

I cannot find this patch in any tree that I have looked at.
Are you going to pick it up later or am I not looking at the right
place?

Thanks,
