BUG/MINOR: jwe: enforce GCM tag length to 128 bits
Two fixes addressing cryptographic and parsing correctness issues:
1. Enforce 16-byte GCM authentication tag in decrypt_ciphertext()
The base64url-decoded 5th JWE component (authentication tag) was passed
directly to EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_TAG with its attacker-controlled length.
OpenSSL accepts 1-16 byte GCM tags and only verifies that many bytes, so
a 1-byte tag reduces forgery work factor to ~256. RFC 7518 mandates 128-bit
(16 byte) tags for A*GCM. The CBC-HMAC path already enforced correct length,
confirming this was an oversight.
Fix: Add (*aead_tag)->data != 16 check before the GCM branch in
decrypt_ciphertext(), rejecting any non-16-byte tag.
Introduced by
416b87d5db (JWE A*GCM support).
2. Enforce 16-byte GCMKW tag in parse_jose() decode_jose_field()
The $.tag field from the attacker-supplied protected header in A*GCMKW
key-wrap was similarly decoded without length enforcement. Fix: Add a
size != 16 check for fields named ".tag" in decode_jose_field() when
called from the GCMKW path.
