Frawser Tweedle from Red Hat's identity management team found an issue in PyCA cryptography's handling of buffers for OpenSSL OBJ_obj2txt(). Cryptography fails to handle long OIDs as used by Active Directory.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1455755

CPython's ssl module doesn't handle buffer allocation for OBJ_obj2txt() correctly, too. A default buffer size of 255+1 makes the bug less likely to occur, though. We should fix the problem anyway.
