<background>
<p>PCSC-Lite is a middleware to access a smart card using the SCard API
(PC/SC).
</p>
</background>
<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”.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A local attacker could use a malicious client to connect to pcscds
Unix socket, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service condition or
privilege escalation since the daemon is running as root.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All PCSC-Lite users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-apps/pcsc-lite-1.8.20"
</code>
