Notes

seth-arnold

While fd19a3d195be23e8d9d0d66576b96ea25eea8323 looks like the actual introduction of this issue, the code before this point didn't appear to do any date validation; perhaps the 'break' point ought to be the introduction of the crypto/asymmetric_keys/x509_cert_parser.c file instead.
