The ASN.1 module in RFC 5280 appendix A.1 uses EXPLICIT TAGS whereas the one in appendix A.2 uses IMPLICIT TAGS. The kernel's simplified asn1_compiler.c always uses EXPLICIT TAGS, hence definitions from appendix A.2 need to be annotated as IMPLICIT for the compiler to generate RFC-compliant code. In particular, GeneralName is defined in appendix A.2: GeneralName ::= CHOICE { otherName [0] OtherName, ... dNSName [2] IA5String, x400Address [3] ORAddress, directoryName [4] Name, ... } Because appendix A.2 uses IMPLICIT TAGS, the IA5String tag (0x16) of a dNSName is not rendered. Instead, the string directly succeeds the [2] tag (0x82). Likewise, the SEQUENCE tag (0x30) of an OtherName is not rendered. Instead, only the constituents of the SEQUENCE are rendered: An OID tag (0x06), a [0] tag (0xa0) and an ANY tag. That's three consecutive tags instead of a single encompassing tag. The situation is different for x400Address and directoryName choices: They reference ORAddress and Name, which are defined in appendix A.1, therefore use EXPLICIT TAGS. The AKID ASN.1 module is missing several IMPLICIT annotations, hence isn't RFC-compliant. In the unlikely event that an AKID contains other elements beside a directoryName, users may see parse errors. Add the missing annotations but do not tag this commit for stable as I am not aware of any issue reports. Fixes are only eligible for stable if they're "obviously correct" and with ASN.1 there's no such thing.
