[Mono-dev] Mono.Security - ssl certificate datetime parsing causes crash on some cultures. (patch)

[yoni shalom]

A crash occurs on windows machines when the process culture info doesn't
support the string format representing the x509 certificate timestamp.
Certificate timestamps should be parsed to DateTime using InvariantCulture,
which is what the patch does.

Stack Trace :

System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: Input data cannot be
coded as a valid certificate. ---> System.FormatException: The DateTime
represented by the string is not supported in calendar
System.Globalization.UmAlQuraCalendar. at
System.DateTimeParse.ParseExact(String s, String format, DateTimeFormatInfo
dtfi, DateTimeStyles style) at System.DateTime.ParseExact(String s, String
format, IFormatProvider provider, DateTimeStyles style) at
Mono.Security.ASN1Convert.ToDateTime(ASN1 time) at
Mono.Security.X509.X509Certificate.Parse(Byte[] data) --- End of inner
exception stack trace --- at Mono.Security.X509.X509Certificate.Parse(Byte[]
data) at Mono.Security.X509.X509Certificate..ctor(Byte[] data)
