Subject: [PATCH 4.13 65/85] pkcs7: Prevent NULL pointer dereference, since sinfo is not always set.

4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Sesterhenn <eric.sesterhenn@...-dsec.de>

commit 68a1fdbbf8bd3378325e45c19e167a165f9ffc3a upstream.

The ASN.1 parser does not necessarily set the sinfo field,
this patch prevents a NULL pointer dereference on broken
input.

Fixes: 99db44350672 ("PKCS#7: Appropriately restrict authenticated attributes and content type")
