1.2.9 also needed:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnutls.git/patch/?id=7b80620f99f4d43f5eda692eefc5c969bb4263c0

Attached is an updated patch for 1.2.9 (still only lightly tested, but
verified to pass the test program). This and the 2.0.4 patch previously
posted now behave the same, but different from 2.4 and higher.
Specifically, when using:

$ certtool -i --infile /tmp/badguy-nul-cn.crt

We have:
|<1>| Found OID: '2.5.4.3' with value '13187777772e62616e6b2e636f6d002e6261646775792e636f6d'

This is in contrast to 2.4 and higher which has:
