Description

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes, but bug is in x/ not the stdlib, anyway.

What did you do?

Was running project Wychefproof test vectors and marshaling (r, s) into a signature failed: https://play.golang.org/p/aiuFIKDTUIj

What did you expect to see?

Same output as asn1.Marshal.

What did you see instead?

A runtime panic.

The existing code in encoding/asn1 correctly handles the case where the integer is -1 by checking the length of math/big.(*Int).Bytes, which may be zero if n-1 == 0:

if len(bytes) == 0 || bytes[0]&0x80 == 0 {

However, x/crypto/cryptobyte does not: https://github.com/golang/crypto/blob/0848c9571904fcbcb24543358ca8b5a7dbfde875/cryptobyte/asn1.go#L84
