+Subject: credential-manager: Do online revocation checks only after basic
+ trust chain validation
+
+This avoids querying URLs of potentially untrusted certificates, e.g. if
+an attacker sends a specially crafted end-entity and intermediate CA
+certificate with a CDP that points to a server that completes the
+TCP handshake but then does not send any further data, which will block
+the fetcher thread (depending on the plugin) for as long as the default
+timeout for TCP.  Doing that multiple times will block all worker threads,
+leading to a DoS attack.
+
+The logging during the certificate verification obviously changes.  The
+following example shows the output of `pki --verify` for the current
+strongswan.org certificate:
+
+new:
+
+  using certificate "CN=www.strongswan.org"
+  using trusted intermediate ca certificate "C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3"
+  using trusted ca certificate "C=US, O=Internet Security Research Group, CN=ISRG Root X1"
+  reached self-signed root ca with a path length of 1
+checking certificate status of "CN=www.strongswan.org"
+  requesting ocsp status from 'http://r3.o.lencr.org' ...
+  ocsp response correctly signed by "C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3"
+  ocsp response is valid: until Jul 27 12:59:58 2022
+certificate status is good
+checking certificate status of "C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3"
+ocsp response verification failed, no signer certificate 'C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3' found
+  fetching crl from 'http://x1.c.lencr.org/' ...
+  using trusted certificate "C=US, O=Internet Security Research Group, CN=ISRG Root X1"
+  crl correctly signed by "C=US, O=Internet Security Research Group, CN=ISRG Root X1"
+  crl is valid: until Apr 18 01:59:59 2023
+certificate status is good
+certificate trusted, lifetimes valid, certificate not revoked
+
+old:
+
+  using certificate "CN=www.strongswan.org"
+  using trusted intermediate ca certificate "C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3"
+checking certificate status of "CN=www.strongswan.org"
+  requesting ocsp status from 'http://r3.o.lencr.org' ...
+  ocsp response correctly signed by "C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3"
+  ocsp response is valid: until Jul 27 12:59:58 2022
+certificate status is good
+  using trusted ca certificate "C=US, O=Internet Security Research Group, CN=ISRG Root X1"
+checking certificate status of "C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3"
+ocsp response verification failed, no signer certificate 'C=US, O=Let's Encrypt, CN=R3' found
+  fetching crl from 'http://x1.c.lencr.org/' ...
+  using trusted certificate "C=US, O=Internet Security Research Group, CN=ISRG Root X1"
+  crl correctly signed by "C=US, O=Internet Security Research Group, CN=ISRG Root X1"
+  crl is valid: until Apr 18 01:59:59 2023
+certificate status is good
+  reached self-signed root ca with a path length of 1
+certificate trusted, lifetimes valid, certificate not revoked
+
+Note that this also fixes an issue with the previous dual-use of the
+`trusted` flag.  It not only indicated whether the chain is trusted but
+also whether the current issuer is the root anchor (the corresponding
+flag in the `cert_validator_t` interface is called `anchor`).  This is
+was problem when building multi-level trust chains for pre-trusted
+end-entity certificates (i.e. where `trusted` is TRUE from the start).
+This caused the main loop to get aborted after the first intermediate CA
+certificate and the mentioned `anchor` flag wasn't correct in any calls
+to `cert_validator_t` implementations.
