Hallo,

With the current version of openssl when parsing the X.509 name
(d2i_X509_NAME), a problem occurs when there is a PostalAddress
sequence within the X.509 name. Below you have the openssl error traces
during the parsing.

1808:error:0D07808C:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:mstring
wrong tag:tasn_dec.c:188:Type=ASN1_PRINTABLE
1808:error:0D08303A:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_TEMPLATE_D2I:nested asn1
error:tasn_dec.c:566:Field=value, Type=X509_NAME_ENTRY
1808:error:0D08303A:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_TEMPLATE_D2I:nested asn1
error:tasn_dec.c:542:
1808:error:0D08303A:asn1 encoding routines:ASN1_TEMPLATE_D2I:nested asn1
error:tasn_dec.c:542:

PostalAddress is defined as follows:

id-at-postalAddress         AttributeType ::= { id-at 16 }
PostalAddress ::=           SEQUENCE SIZE (1..6) OF DirectoryString


X509 Entry is defined as :

ASN1_SEQUENCE(X509_NAME_ENTRY) = {
ASN1_SIMPLE(X509_NAME_ENTRY, object, ASN1_OBJECT),
ASN1_SIMPLE(X509_NAME_ENTRY, value, ASN1_PRINTABLE)
} ASN1_SEQUENCE_END(X509_NAME_ENTRY)


Question:

What must we do to get a correct parsing ?
