tls: fix handling of x509 subject and issuer
When subject and verifier are represented as strings, escape special
characters (such as '+') to guarantee unambiguity. Previously, different
distinguished names could result in the same string when encoded. In
particular, inserting a '+' in a single-value Relative Distinguished
Name (e.g., L or OU) would produce a string that is indistinguishable
from a multi-value Relative Distinguished Name. Third-party code that
correctly interprets the generated string representation as a
multi-value Relative Distinguished Name could then be vulnerable to an
injection attack, e.g., when an attacker includes a single-value RDN
with type OU and value 'HR + CN=example.com', the string representation
produced by unpatched versions of Node.js would be
'OU=HR + CN=example.com', which represents a multi-value RDN.

Node.js itself is not vulnerable to this attack because the current
implementation that parses such strings into objects does not handle '+'
at all. This oversight leads to incorrect results, but at the same time
appears to prevent injection attacks (as described above).

With this change, the JavaScript objects representing the subject and
issuer Relative Distinguished Names are constructed in C++ directly,
instead of (incorrectly) encoding them as strings and then (incorrectly)
decoding the strings in JavaScript.

This addresses CVE-2021-44533.

Node.js Core Tests

This directory contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.

For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this directory, see the guide on writing tests.

On how to run tests in this directory, see the contributing guide.

For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the autocrlf git config flag set to true.

Test Directories

Directory Runs on CI Purpose
abort Yes Tests that use --abort-on-uncaught-exception and other situations where we want to test something but avoid generating a core file.
addons Yes Tests for addon functionality along with some tests that require an addon.
async-hooks Yes Tests for async_hooks functionality.
benchmark Yes Test minimal functionality of benchmarks.
cctest Yes C++ tests that are run as part of the build process.
code-cache No Tests for a Node.js binary compiled with V8 code cache.
common Common modules shared among many tests. Documentation
doctool Yes Tests for the documentation generator.
es-module Yes Test ESM module loading.
fixtures Test fixtures used in various tests throughout the test suite.
internet No Tests that make real outbound network connections. Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections.
js-native-api Yes Tests for Node.js-agnostic n-api functionality.
known_issues Yes Tests reproducing known issues within the system. All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via known_issues.status.
message Yes Tests for messages that are output for various conditions (console.log, error messages etc.)
node-api Yes Tests for Node.js-specific n-api functionality.
parallel Yes Various tests that are able to be run in parallel.
pseudo-tty Yes Tests that require stdin/stdout/stderr to be a TTY.
pummel No Various tests for various modules / system functionality operating under load.
sequential Yes Various tests that must not run in parallel.
testpy Test configuration utility used by various test suites.
tick-processor No Tests for the V8 tick processor integration. The tests are for the logic in lib/internal/v8_prof_processor.js and lib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic.
v8-updates No Tests for V8 performance integration.
