When using an OCSP responder did not correctly handle invalid responses.
This allowed for revoked client certificates to be incorrectly identified.
It was therefore possible for users to authenticate with revoked
certificates when using mutual TLS (CVE-2018-8019).

certificates may have not been properly identified, allowing for users to
authenticate with revoked certificates to connections that require mutual
TLS (CVE-2018-8020).
