[security-dev 00888]: code review request 6570344 Invalid RSA OID in sun.security.x509.AlgorithmId

[Xuelei Fan]

Hi,

The RSA OID from sun.security.x509.AlgorithmId is 1.2.5.8.1.1. However 
no such OID seems to exist. The correct one should be 2.5.8.1.1.

ITU-T X.509 defined RSA encryption algorithm as:
id-ea-rsa = {joint-iso-itu-t(2) ds(5) algorithm(8) 
encryptionAlgorithm(1) rsa(1)}
rsa ALGORITHM ::= {
    KeySize
    IDENTIFIED BY id-ea-rsa
}

However, the industry does not use the above specification, a serial of 
definitions of PKCS#1 are adopted instead (the PKIX WG of IETF adopts 
the PKCS#1 definitions). I think that is also why we did not get issue 
report on parsing a certificate with such a OID. BTW there is a defect 
report to deprecate the above definition. [1]

Anyway, I think we need to correct "1.2.5.8.1.1" to "2.5.8.1.1" even no 
practical certificate issues reported by now.
