    Fix a padding oracle in PKCS7_dataDecode and CMS_decrypt_set1_pkey · 08229ad8

    An attack is simple, if the first CMS_recipientInfo is valid but the
    second CMS_recipientInfo is chosen ciphertext. If the second
    recipientInfo decodes to PKCS #1 v1.5 form plaintext, the correct
    encryption key will be replaced by garbage, and the message cannot be
    decoded, but if the RSA decryption fails, the correct encryption key is
    used and the recipient will not notice the attack.
    
    As a work around for this potential attack the length of the decrypted
    key must be equal to the cipher default key length, in case the
    certifiate is not given and all recipientInfo are tried out.
    
    The old behaviour can be re-enabled in the CMS code by setting the
    CMS_DEBUG_DECRYPT flag.
