Description Sam Fowler 2018-09-12 01:45:43 EDT

A double free when handling responses from a smartcard in sc_file_set_sec_attr in libopensc/sc.c in OpenSC before 0.19.0-rc1 could be used by attackers able to supply crafted smartcards to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
