X509_STORE_get0_objects returns a pointer to the X509_STORE's storage, but this function is a bit deceptive. It is practically unusable in a multi-threaded program. See, for example, RUSTSEC-2023-0072, a security vulnerability caused by this OpenSSL API. One might think that, if no other threads are mutating the X509_STORE, it is safe to read the resulting list. However, the documention does not mention that other logically-const operations on the X509_STORE, notably certifcate verifications when a hash_dir is installed, will, under a lock, write to the X509_STORE. The X509_STORE also internally re-sorts the list on the first query. If the caller knows to call X509_STORE_lock and X509_STORE_unlock, it can work around this. But this is not obvious, and the documentation does not discuss how X509_STORE_lock is very rarely safe to use. E.g. one cannot call any APIs like X509_STORE_add_cert or X509_STORE_CTX_get1_issuer while holding the lock because those functions internally expect to take the lock. (X509_STORE_lock is another such API which is not safe to export as public API.) Rather than leave all this to the caller to figure out, the API should have returned a shallow copy of the list, refcounting the values. Then it could be internally locked and the caller can freely inspect the result without synchronization with the X509_STORE.
