|
<p>PCSC-Lite is a middleware to access a smart card using the SCard API
|
|
|
(PC/SC).

<description>
|
|
|
<p>The SCardReleaseContext function normally releases resources associated
|
|
|
with the given handle (including “cardsList”) and clients should
|
|
|
cease using this handle. However, a malicious client can make the daemon
|
|
|
invoke SCardReleaseContext and continue issuing other commands that use
|
|
|
“cardsList”, resulting in a use-after-free. When SCardReleaseContext
|
|
|
is invoked multiple times it additionally results in a double-free of
|
|
|
“cardsList”.

|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
|
<p>A local attacker could use a malicious client to connect to pcscd’s
|
|
|
Unix socket, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition or
|
|
|
privilege escalation since the daemon is running as root.
