[ocsp] Accept response certID with missing hashAlgorithm parameters
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
One of the design goals of ASN.1 DER is to provide a canonical
serialization of a data structure, thereby allowing for equality of
values to be tested by simply comparing the serialized bytes.

Some OCSP servers will modify the request certID to omit the optional
(and null) "parameters" portion of the hashAlgorithm.  This is
arguably legal but breaks the ability to perform a straightforward
bitwise comparison on the entire certID field between request and
response.

Fix by comparing the OID-identified hashAlgorithm separately from the
remaining certID fields.
