3. Description:

 

PC/SC Lite provides a Windows SCard compatible interface for communicating

with smart cards, smart card readers, and other security tokens.

 

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way pcsc-lite decoded

certain attribute values of Answer-to-Reset (ATR) messages. A local

attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges

of the user running the pcscd daemon (root, by default), by inserting a

specially-crafted smart card. (CVE-2010-4531)

 

This update also fixes the following bugs:

 

* Due to an error in the init script, the chkconfig utility did not

automatically place the pcscd init script after the start of the HAL

daemon. Consequently, the pcscd service did not start automatically at boot

time. With this update, the pcscd init script has been changed to

explicitly start only after HAL is up, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#788474,

BZ#814549)

 

* Because the chkconfig settings and the startup files in the /etc/rc.d/

directory were not changed during the update described in the

RHBA-2012:0990 advisory, the user had to update the chkconfig settings

manually to fix the problem. Now, the chkconfig settings and the startup

files in the /etc/rc.d/ directory are automatically updated as expected.

(BZ#834803)

 

* Previously, the SCardGetAttrib() function did not work properly and

always returned the "SCARD_E_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER" error regardless of the

actual buffer size. This update applies a patch to fix this bug and the

SCardGetAttrib() function now works as expected. (BZ#891852)

 

All users of pcsc-lite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,

which fix these issues. After installing this update, the pcscd daemon will

be restarted automatically.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.
