Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-09-02 18:36:42 UTC

The reported issues are part of the libopensc library, which makes them
accessible from OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, or CTK. One is
only relevant to handling the card enrollment using the pkcs15-init tool.
The attack requires a crafted USB device or smart card that would present
the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs, so they are
considered high complexity and low severity.

The problem is missing initialization of variables expected to be
initialized (as arguments to other functions, etc.).
The uninitialized variables were reflected in the following functions:

- cac_read_file
- piv_get_challenge
- sc_asn1_decode_object_id
- sc_pkcs15emu_sc_hsm_decode_cvc
- do_init_app, sc_pkcs15init_create_pin
