Daniel Stenberg created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/work_items/1886



gnutls_certificate_verify_peers2() does not seem to verify ExtendedKeyUsage but gnutls_certificate_verify_peers() does.

Neither case is documented clearly. This has already lead to people submitting vuln reports to gnutls-using apps for this omission.

The aria2c fix: https://github.com/aria2/aria2/pull/2356/changes

This seems like a GnuTLS bug to me.
