Subject: [FD] CVE-2020-1967: proving sigalg != NULL

I created a proof of concept exploit about the recent OpenSSL
signature_algorithms_cert DoS flaw (CVE-2020-1967). Credit for the
original finding goes to Bernd Edlinger.

This is a null pointer dereference while processing a crafted
signature_algorithms_cert TLS extension via the SSL_check_chain() API
method. Applications do need to call this method explicitly, it is not
invoked by default during the handshake. The segmentation fault of a
TLS service could look like this:

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
#0  0x00007f09bcff3770 in tls1_check_sig_alg.part.0.cold () from
/data/openssl-1.1.1d/libssl.so
(gdb) bt

This exploit relies on a patched version of openssl's s_client and can
