Prevent null dereference in PKINIT CMS processing
In cms_signeddata_verify(), where we use CMS_get0_content(), check
that the dereferenced result is non-null as well as the result itself.
(The result itself is a pointer to the eContent slot, whether or not
the decoded ASN.1 value contained an eContent field, and will only be
null if the CMS_ContentInfo object has an unexpected type.)
CVE-2026-71200:
If a KDC is configured to allow PKINIT authentication, an
unauthenticated attacker can trigger a null pointer dereference,
causing the process to terminate. Discovered by Claude and Ada
Logics, and independently by Erin Liman using DeepSeek.
