Bug #3542
closedcert_get_issuer() in certs.inc doesn't always return the full Distinguished Name
100%
Description
cert_get_issuer() doesn't work properly when a certificate's issuer has several attributes of the same type.
e.g.
CN=Some Root CA,OU=Certificates Department,OU=(c) Copyright SomeCorp,O=SomeCorp,C=US
vs.
CN=Some Root CA,OU=(c) Copyright SomeCorp,O=SomeCorp,C=US
cert_get_issuer() doesn't properly handle the two OU attributes.
cert_get_subject() works correctly, so comparisons are broken. This breaks cert chaining, misidentifies some root certs, and other bad things.
Copying the logic from cert_get_subject() seems to fix it.
Example broken cert (thawte). Adding it as a CA identifies issuer as external, but it's a root certificate.
