Require UTF8 encoding in GetX509NameInfo

[vcsjones]

This changes GetX509NameInfo to force UTF8 encoding when writing to the BIO with ASN1_STRING_print_ex. The OpenSSL function won't return UTF8 unless you ask it to. Otherwise, it returns an escaped string of the contents of the string.

We assume the BIO is going to contain UTF8 here:

runtime/src/libraries/System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates/src/Internal/Cryptography/Pal.Unix/OpenSslX509CertificateReader.cs

Line 723 in 6d094a0

returnEncoding.UTF8.GetString(buf,0,read);

Test result, before the fix:

xUnit.net 00:00:01.07] System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.Tests.PropsTests.GetNameInfo_HandlesUtf8Encoding(issuer: True) [FAIL]
[xUnit.net 00:00:01.09] System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.Tests.PropsTests.GetNameInfo_HandlesUtf8Encoding(issuer: False) [FAIL]

@danmoseley Would you be supportive of taking this as a 6.0 candidate?

• Globalization impact
• Very scoped fix
• Now with tests
• Externally reported (StackOverflow)

[danmoseley]

Might. Can you share SO link? How long has this bug been present without previous reports?

Let's get this merged meantime

How long has this bug been present without previous reports?

.NET Core 1.0 preview 8, or thereabouts 😄.

Failure:

System.Net.Security.Tests.ApmSslStreamSystemDefaultTest.ClientAndServer_OneOrBothUseDefault_Ok(clientProtocols: Tls13, serverProtocols: null) [FAIL]
System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException : Authentication failed, see inner exception.
---- System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception : The Local Security Authority cannot be contacted

Seems like #58927 and is unrelated from the PR.

[vcsjones]

I don't think the macOS libraries tests ran, either.

[danmoseley]

Rerunning failed jobs...

thinking about it, this might meet the servicing bar. Let's get a PR up against 6.0 once this goes in. Or preemptively, if you like.
