[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | GnuTLS parsed the '<>' symbols stored in PrintableString. (#1698)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

One happy person created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1698



## Description of problem:
Hello Developer, ASN.1 specifies that PrintableString can only store a subset of characters from ASCII, including letters, digits, spaces, and some specific symbols: ' () + , - ./ : = ?'. However, I parsed a CRL file using GnuTLS ,and when I tried to parse this CRL using Go, I received the error "x509: invalid RDNSequence: invalid attribute value: invalid PrintableString." Could you please clarify if this is a bug?The issuer field of this CRL is ```CN=<edited>``` 

## Version of gnutls used:
GnuTLS 3.8.9

## Distributor of gnutls (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL)
Ubuntu

## How reproducible:
certtool --crl-info --inder --infile crl_edited.der

## Actual results:
The issuer field is parsed as Issuer:OU=test,CN=\<edited\>,O=test,L=test,ST=test,C=CN

## Expected results:
[crl_edited.der](/uploads/9850f167dd370e764ff57bc20b33b10a/crl_edited.der)
