http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017902 Bug ID: 1017902 Summary: VUL-0: pcsc-lite: use-after-free and double-free [CWE-415, CWE-416] Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Security Assignee: security-team@suse.de Reporter: mikhail.kasimov@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Ref: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2017/q1/18 =================================================== Vendor: Muscle Affected Versions: PCSC-Lite >= 1.6.0, < 1.8.20 Description: PCSC-Lite[1] is a middleware to access a smart card using the SCard API (PC/SC). It can be used with GnuPG, OpenSC and others for hardware like the Nitrokey and Yubikey. These software use a client library (libpcsclite) which communicate with a daemon (pcscd) that actually accesses the hardware. The SCardReleaseContext function normally releases resources associated with the given handle (including "cardsList") and clients should cease using this handle. A malicious client can however 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". The issue allows a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service, but can potentially result in Privilege Escalation since the daemon is running as root while any local user can connect to the Unix socket. Fixed by patch "SCardReleaseContext: prevent use-after-free of cardsList"[2] which is released with hpcsc-lite 1.8.20 on 30 December 2016[3].
