[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH ucert 00/13] ucert fixes and cleanup

While looking for a build issue (see [1]), I noticed various issues in
the ucert code (and this should not be applied before [1] is applied to
usign). There might well be more problems lurking - I did not read all
the code.

In particular patch 12/12 is critical: It must be applied before the
attached libubox patch to avoid a new security issue.

The libubox patch is necessary to make ucert verification work at all
again; without it, cert_load() will always fail, and in consequence, all
images will be found invalid when REQUIRE_IMAGE_SIGNATURE is enabled.
