However, how does a printable string differ from utf8string (and other
strings, particularly ia5string) when there are no non-ascii characters?
Do you think it's a bug in NSS...?
printable string basically allows only the alphabet and numeric
characters. ia5string allows all of 7-bit ASCII.
For both, any character with the eighth bit set will be invalid.
A crash when meeting invalid data is always a bug, especially for a
security tool. Even if here it seem to only be a bug inside the certutil
tool, not inside the NSS library component themselves.
