Unfortunately, when the peer sends a value that we don't support, the lookup returns NULL, but we unconditionally dereference the lookup result for the comparison, leading to an application crash triggerable by an unauthenticated client. Since we will not be able to say anything about algorithms we don't recognize, treat NULL return from lookup as "does not match". We currently only apply the "signature_algorithm_cert" checks on TLS 1.3 connections, so previous TLS versions are unaffected. SSL_check_chain() is not called directly from libssl, but may be used by the application inside a callback (e.g., client_hello or cert callback) to verify that a candidate certificate chain will be acceptable to the client.
