+From 09df4395b5071217b76dc7d3d2e630eb8c5a79c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2024 11:28:58 +0000
+Subject: [PATCH] Add NULL checks where ContentInfo data can be NULL
+
+PKCS12 structures contain PKCS7 ContentInfo fields. These fields are
+optional and can be NULL even if the "type" is a valid value. OpenSSL
+was not properly accounting for this and a NULL dereference can occur
+causing a crash.
