    Avoid null dereference in krb5_rd_cred()
    
    A malformed KRB-CRED message may have fewer entries in the encrypted
    ticket-info list than it has in the tickets list.  In each loop
    iteration, check if we unexpectedly reached the end of the ticket-info
    list to avoid a null dereference.
