Section A.4.2 says:

struct {
    ClientCertificateType certificate_types<1..2^8-1>;
    DistinguishedName certificate_authorities<0..2^16-1>;
} CertificateRequest;

It should say:

struct {
    ClientCertificateType certificate_types<1..2^8-1>;
    SignatureAndHashAlgorithm
      supported_signature_algorithms<2^16-1>;
    DistinguishedName certificate_authorities<0..2^16-1>;
} CertificateRequest;

Notes:

The definition in Section 7.4.4 (which includes the "supported_
signature_algorithms" field) is the correct one (confirmed
by Eric Rescorla on 2009-02-27)
