CVE request: openssl: missing critical flag for extended key usage not always detected in time-stamp verification

Hi,

Could a CVE id be assigned for this?

The referenced commit fixes it "and to two other cases in the same file."

Digging through history, the bug on TSA was introduced in 
[2]http://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=c7235be6e36c4bef84594aa3b2f0561db84b63d8
(Strangely tagged for 0.9.8l and 0.9.8k but none of the other versions of 
the 0.9.8 branch)

And the two others in:
[3]http://git.openssl.org/gitweb/?p=openssl.git;a=commit;h=d9bfe4f97cd4244beb0598cc348d68b04dac7068
(going all the way back to 0.9.7)

Haven't checked if the meaning of the X509_get_ext_by_NID parameter changed 
at some point.

Cheers,
