Update the "Known Issues"
Mention that some old cryptographic library versions lack the functionality to implement ignoring the Subject field (and thus the Common Name) when establishing DoT connections.

- None.
|
||||
- According to RFC 8310, Section 8.1, the Subject field MUST NOT be
|
||||
inspected when verifying a remote certificate while establishing a
|
||||
DNS-over-TLS connection. Only SubjectAltName must be checked
|
||||
instead. Unfortunately, some quite old versions of cryptographic
|
||||
libraries might lack the functionality to ignore the Subject
|
||||
field. It should have minimal production use consequences, as most
|
||||
of the production-ready certificates issued by certificate
|
||||
authorities will have SubjectAltNames set. In such a case, the
|
||||
Subject field is ignored. Only old platforms are affected by this,
|
||||
e.g., those supplied with OpenSSL versions older than 1.1.1.
