Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in OpenSC. |
19 |
|
20 |
Background |
21 |
========== |
22 |
|
23 |
OpenSC provides a set of libraries and utilities to access smart cards. |
24 |
|
25 |
Affected packages |
26 |
================= |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

Description |
34 |
=========== |
35 |
|
36 |
Multiple vulnerabilities were found in OpenSC: |
37 |
|
38 |
* b.badrignans discovered that OpenSC incorrectly initialises private |
39 |
data objects (CVE-2009-0368). |
40 |
|
41 |
* Miquel Comas Marti discovered that src/tools/pkcs11-tool.c in |
42 |
pkcs11-tool in OpenSC 0.11.7, when used with unspecified third-party |
43 |
PKCS#11 modules, generates RSA keys with incorrect public exponents |
44 |
(CVE-2009-1603). |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
The first vulnerabilty allows physically proximate attackers to bypass |
50 |
intended PIN requirements and read private data objects. The second |
51 |
vulnerability allows attackers to read the cleartext form of messages |
52 |
that were intended to be encrypted. |
53 |
|
54 |
NOTE: Smart cards which were initialised using an affected version of |
55 |
OpenSC need to be modified or re-initialised. See the vendor's advisory |
56 |
for details. |
57 |
|
58 |
Workaround |
59 |
========== |
60 |
|
61 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
62 |
|
63 |
Resolution |
64 |
========== |
65 |
|
66 |
All OpenSC users should upgrade to the latest version: |
67 |
|
68 |
# emerge --sync |
69 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-libs/opensc-0.11.8" |
