Description
I try to use cryptographic-message-syntax crate to verify a signature. While I can verify the signature proper, I cannot verify the validity of the embedded certificate. My scenario is a bit more complex (includes an intermediate CA), I created an [example](https://github.com/sa2ajj/try-cms-2) where the problem can be seen.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in the linked try-cms-2 example, focusing on the embedded certificate and its intermediate-CA scenario. Trace the cryptographic-message-syntax crate's certificate-validation entry point and compare signature verification with certificate validity verification. Done means the embedded certificate's validity can be verified for this scenario.
