EC2 token requests contain a signature that signs the entire request,
including the access timestamp. While the signature is checked, the
timestamp is not, and so these signed requests remain valid
indefinitely, leaving the token API vulnerable to replay attacks. This
change introduces a configurable TTL for signed token requests and
ensures that the timestamp is actually validated against it.
The check will work for either an AWS Signature v1/v2 'Timestamp'
parameter[1] or the AWS Signature v4 'X-Aws-Date' header or
parameter[2].
Although this technically adds a new feature and the default value of
the feature changes behavior, this change is required to protect
credential holders and therefore must be backported to all supported
branches.
