xmlsecurity: some Distinguished Names are less equal than others
It turns out that the 2 backends NSS and MS CryptoAPI generate different string representations of the same Distinguished Name in at least one corner case, when a value contains a quote " U+0022. The CryptoAPI function to generate the strings is: CertNameToStr(..., CERT_X500_NAME_STR | CERT_NAME_STR_REVERSE_FLAG, ...) This is documented on MSDN: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wincrypt/nf-wincrypt-certnametostra#CERT_X500_NAME_STR NSS appears to implement RFC 1485, at least that's what the internal function is named after, or perhaps one of its several successor RFCs (not clear currently if there's a relevant difference). This is now causing trouble if a certificate with such a DN is used in a signature, created on WNT but then verified on another platform, because commit 5af5ea893bcb8a8eb472ac11133da10e5a604e66 introduced consistency checks that compare the DNs that occur as strings in META-INF/documentsignatures.xml: xmlsecurity/source/helper/xmlsignaturehelper.cxx:672: X509Data cannot be parsed The reason is that in XSecController::setX509Data() the value read from the X509IssuerSerial element (a string generated by CryptoAPI) doesn't match the value generated by NSS from the certificate parsed from the X509Certificate element, so these are erroneously interpreted as 2 distinct certificates. Try to make the EqualDistinguishedNames() more flexible so that it can try also a converted variant of the DN. (libxmlsec's NSS backend also complains that it cannot parse the DN: x509vfy.c:607: xmlSecNssX509NameRead() '' '' 12 'invalid data for 'char': actual=34 and expected comma ','' but it manages to validate the signature despite this.)
