RSA signature validation vulnerability on maleable encoded message in jsrsasign

Description

Vulnerable jsrsasign will accept RSA signature with improper PKCS#1.5 padding. Decoded RSA signature value consists following form: 01(ff...(8 or more ffs)...ff)00[ASN.1 OF DigestInfo] Its byte length must be the same as RSA key length, however such checking was not sufficient.

To make crafted message for practical attack is very hard.
