Upstream fix: https://github.com/p11-glue/p11-kit/commit/5307a1d21a50cacd06f471a873a018d23ba4b963 https://github.com/p11-glue/p11-kit/commit/bd670b1d4984b27d6a397b9ddafaf89ab26e4e7f
Statement: The p11-kit library is primarily intended to be used locally, in which case the attacker needs to have sufficient permission to access the p11-kit communication. Although there may be use cases of p11-kit being used with a remote entity, all parties must be considered trusted. As a result, Red Hat considers this vulnerability with a Medium severity.
