** Description changed:

  [ Impact ]
  
+ * This prevents the AD certificate auto-entrollment from working. 
Certificates will not be automatically enrolled from a AD controller to an 
Ubuntu client machine. Errors will be logged in the journal of the attempts.
   * python3-cepces has been using _RSAPublicKey.verifier from 
python3-cryptography. This method has been marked deprecated for a few years 
now, but recently (in version 37) has been completely removed.
  * Updating system to a 37+ version of python3-cryptography will cause trouble 
due to cepces trying to call the removed method.
  * The new API to use is  _RSAPublicKey.verify, which takes one extra 
parameter.
  * Versions prior to Noble still have cryptography with the .verifier method.
  
  [ Test Plan ]
  
  I was looking for a shorter way, but apparently cepces test suite does
  not cover this case and testing requires a AD controler.
  
- The issue happens occurs when following [1]. When a configured system
- tries to automatically enroll certificates it fails with the following
- messages:
+ 1. Configure a Windows AD controller to support certificate auto entrollment 
[1].
+ 2. Connect an ubuntu client to join the AD by following (either during 
installation or manually).
+ 3. Update policies with:
+ sudo adsysctl update -m -v
+ 4. Get certificate list:
+ sudo getcert list
+ 5. Check certmonger log for issues.
+ 6. Install the -proposed version of python3-cepces (enable -proposed if 
needed [2])
+ 7. Re-run steps 3 & 4.
+ 
+ Expected result:
+ All the certificate should be auto-entrolled with no errors.
+ 
+ Actual result (with affected version):
+ `journal -u certmonger` contains errors:

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
  The fix is minimal, sourced from upstream, and has been uploaded to the
  devel release (plucky).
  
  The patch makes cepces incompatible with "ancient" (pre-1.4) versions of
  python-cryptography, but this version is not present in any of the
  affected series, and thus should present no danger of incompatibility.
  
  [ Other Info ]
  
  Original bug description:
  
  This bug is opened to include the upstream patch by falencastro into the
  Ubuntu release of python3-cepces
  
  Upstream Bug report: https://github.com/openSUSE/cepces/issues/41
  
  python-cryptography version 37.0.0 dropped the `signer` and `verifier`
  methods, replacing them with `sign` and `verify`
  (https://github.com/pyca/cryptography/blob/43.0.x/CHANGELOG.rst#3700---
  2022-04-26)
  
  From upstream report:
  
  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> 
About Ubuntu
  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' 
or by checking in Software Center
  
  OS:                     Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
  Python:                 3.12.3
  python3-cepces:         0.3.7-0ubuntu1
  python3-cryptography:   41.0.7-4ubuntu0.1
  
  3) What you expected to happen:
  
  AD enrolled systems can auto-fetch certificates from the server
  
  4) What happened instead:
