Description Sam Fowler 2018-09-12 06:18:15 UTC 
A double free when handling responses in read_file in tools/egk-tool.c (aka the eGK card tool) 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.

Created opensc tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1628041]
Comment 3 Doran Moppert 2018-09-18 07:51:23 UTC 
The affected file does not exist in opensc-0.16.0, nor do its predecessors (read_file & related functions elsewhere) seem to realloc.
