Lucky Roy created an issue: https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/issues/1715
## Description of problem:
RFC 5958 shows Version ::= INTEGER { v1(0), v2(1) } (v1, ..., v2), version identifies the version of OneAsymmetricKey. If publicKey is present, then version is set to v2 else version is set to v1. However, here GnuTLS accepts a key with version number 3, and the attachment is the reproduction file. (In addition, RFC 5208 stipulates that the version number can only be 0.)[test.zip](/uploads/ac4f0f3233edb1e9eabae1580d21df22/test.zip)
## Version of gnutls used:
gnutls-cli 3.7.3
## Distributor of gnutls (e.g., Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL)
Ubuntu
## How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
* one:gcc -o test3 test3.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gnutls`
* two:./test3
## Actual results:
Accept the key.
## Expected results:
Since the version number is 3, it should be rejected.
