Subject: [PATCH] Restrict the size of OBJECT IDENTIFIERs that OBJ_obj2txt will
translate
OBJ_obj2txt() would translate any size OBJECT IDENTIFIER to canonical
numeric text form. For gigantic sub-identifiers, this would take a very
long time, the time complexity being O(n^2) where n is the size of that
sub-identifier.
To mitigate this, a restriction on the size that OBJ_obj2txt() will
translate to canonical numeric text form is added, based on RFC 2578
(STD 58), which says this:
> 3.5. OBJECT IDENTIFIER values
>
> An OBJECT IDENTIFIER value is an ordered list of non-negative numbers.
> For the SMIv2, each number in the list is referred to as a sub-identifier,
> there are at most 128 sub-identifiers in a value, and each sub-identifier
> has a maximum value of 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal).

+ OBJECT IDENTIFIER sub-identifiers to canonical numeric text form.

+ OBJ_obj2txt() would translate any size OBJECT IDENTIFIER to canonical
+ numeric text form. For gigantic sub-identifiers, this would take a very
+ long time, the time complexity being O(n^2) where n is the size of that
+ sub-identifier. (CVE-2023-2650)
+
+ To mitigitate this, `OBJ_obj2txt()` will only translate an OBJECT
+ IDENTIFIER to canonical numeric text form if the size of that OBJECT
+ IDENTIFIER is 586 bytes or less, and fail otherwise.
+
+ The basis for this restriction is RFC 2578 (STD 58), section 3.5. OBJECT
+ IDENTIFIER values, which stipulates that OBJECT IDENTIFIERS may have at
+ most 128 sub-identifiers, and that the maximum value that each sub-
+ identifier may have is 2^32-1 (4294967295 decimal).
+
+ For each byte of every sub-identifier, only the 7 lower bits are part of
+ the value, so the maximum amount of bytes that an OBJECT IDENTIFIER with
+ these restrictions may occupy is 32 * 128 / 7, which is approximately 586
+ bytes.

*) Fixed an issue where invalid certificate policies in leaf certificates are
silently ignored by OpenSSL and other certificate policy checks are skipped
for that certificate. A malicious CA could use this to deliberately assert
