[PATCH 3.16 197/366] X.509: unpack RSA signatureValue field from BIT STRING

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Maciej S. Szmigiero" <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit b65c32ec5a942ab3ada93a048089a938918aba7f upstream.

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).

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - x509_certificate::sig is a structure, not a pointer
 - public_key_signature::pkey_algo is an enumeration type, not a string]
