gpg-interface: limit search for primary key fingerprint
The VALIDSIG status line from GnuPG with --status-fd is documented to have 9 required and 1 optional fields [1]. The final, and optional, field is used to specify the fingerprint of the primary key that made the signature in case it was made by a subkey. However, this field is only available for OpenPGP signatures; not for CMS/X.509. If the VALIDSIG status line does not have the optional 10th field, the current code will continue reading onto the next status line. And this is the case for non-OpenPGP signatures [1]. The consequence is that a subsequent status line may be considered as the "primary key" for signatures that does not have an actual primary key. Limit the search of these 9 or 10 fields to the single line to avoid this problem. If the 10th field is missing, report that there is no primary key fingerprint. [Reference] [1] GnuPG Details, General status codes https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gnupg.git;a=blob;f=doc/DETAILS;h=6ce340e8c04794add995e84308bb3091450bd28f;hb=HEAD#l483 The documentation says: VALIDSIG <args> The args are: - <fingerprint_in_hex> - <sig_creation_date> - <sig-timestamp> - <expire-timestamp> - <sig-version> - <reserved> - <pubkey-algo> - <hash-algo> - <sig-class> - [ <primary-key-fpr> ] This status indicates that the signature is cryptographically valid. [...] PRIMARY-KEY-FPR is the fingerprint of the primary key or identical to the first argument. The primary-key-fpr parameter is used for OpenPGP and not available for CMS signatures.
