When presented with an incorrectly formatted x509v1 certificate
the X509Cert() method generates a misleading error message.
For example the following certificate has an incorrect public
key (Y) length. The length is exactly 128 bytes and is encoded
as 0x80 instead of 0x8180.

The code in sun.security.util.DerInputStream.getLength
actually throws the correct error. (IOException ("DerInput.getLength(), unsupported" + " [ " + tmp + " ]")
The exception that reaches the caller of sun.security.x509.X509Cert
makes no mention of the length encoding problem. Nor does the
message identify the component that could not be parsed (P,Q,G or Y).
[Certificate Exception: The certificate could not be parsed.
