Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PCSC-Lite, the worst of
which could lead to privilege escalation.

Background
==========

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

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  sys-apps/pcsc-lite           < 1.8.20                  >= 1.8.20

Description
===========

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
======

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.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All PCSC-Lite users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/pcsc-lite-1.8.20"

==========
