[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | outer AlgorithmIdentifer parameters are not verified against tbsCertificate (#698)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

That's a nice catch. I do not think that currently this affects any of our algorithms (only RSA-PSS uses parameters, and RSA-PSS is restricted to SHA256 or better), but this issue could cause more serious issues in the future. I went through `compare_sig_algorithm` in `lib/x509/x509.c`  and it seems there is already a check for the parameters, but a typo makes their checking a void operation. Fixing the typo and adding your reproducer should be sufficient to address the issue.
