[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | Gnutls cannot parse the Country value encoded in UTF8String. (#1676)

[Read-only notification of GnuTLS library development activities]

Qianxin Cheng created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1676



## Description of problem:
Hello Developer, I created a CRL file where the Country value in the issuer field is encoded in UTF8String, with the value 'US'. However, I am unable to successfully parse this Country value when processing the CRL. RFC5280 specifies that DirectoryString can be encoded either in PrintableString or UTF8String.

## 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_file.der

## Actual results:
The issuer field is parsed as Issuer: OU=test, CN=test, O=test, L=test, ST=test, C=#0c025553.

## Expected results:
The issuer field should be parsed as Issuer: OU=test, CN=test, O=test, L=test, ST=test, C=US.[crl_file.der](/uploads/0d76de603cea7216532e93b612d8f219/crl_file.der)
