Title:
  Handle odd buffer lengths in checksum

Status in sbsigntool package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Buffers of odd length can be passed to the checksum, for example
  signatures. This results in reading 1 byte beyond the buffer and can
  produce an incorrect checksum if the extra byte is non-zero.

  Attaching a patch changing csum_bytes() to prevent overflowing the
  buffer, while taking the extra byte into account if the length is odd.
  Tested with a UEFI binary containing an odd-length signature, and also
  detach/attach on a binary signed with Microsoft signtool.
