<a href="https://gitlab.com/nmav">Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos</a> created an issue:
</p>
<div></div>
<p dir="auto">The APIs in <code>lib/x509/ocsp*.c</code> rely on several cases on the fact that <code>_gnutls_x509_read_value</code> will incorrectly include the null terminated byte into the size for object identifier strings. This is sometimes reflected to exported APIs and thus a fix in the handling of the original function cannot happen without changing assumptions by user programs. The functions that are affected are:</p>
<ul dir="auto">
<li><code>gnutls_ocsp_req_get_extension()</code></li>
<li><code>gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_response()</code></li>
<li><code>gnutls_ocsp_resp_get_extension()</code></li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">I recommend to fix that deficiency in <code>_gnutls_x509_read_value</code> (see attached patch) in a minor release update (3.7.0), and document the change on the affected functions.</p>
