RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

there may be a possible high speed connection issue with Alcor Micro Corp. AU9540 Smartcard Reader corresponding to

https://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2023/01/new-version-of-libccid-152.html

I have not reproduced this myself, but have seen a RHEL-9.1 report where pcscd must be restarted to re-gain smart card communications.

should 1.5.2 be considered on RHEL-9 to update from pcsc-lite-ccid-1.4.36-1.el9 from 2021-08 ?
I see Fedora-38 has 1.5.2-1

I think it is reasonable request for RHEL 9.3. We have plan to rebase the ccid database from time to time to keep up with new readers anyway.

For RHEL 9.1 z-stream, I think we would need significant business requirement go this way, but in any case, the first step would be verifying that the latest upstream version solves the problem.

I just rebuilt the latest fedora package for epel9 in my copr so fee free to share and test:

Comment 4 Jakub Jelen 2023-05-29 11:28:49 UTC 
Short review of changes between 1.4.36 9now in RHEL9) and 1.5.2 (target rebase version):
 * Support for new readers
 * This fix for Alcor Micro AU9560
 * Minor improvements

I do not see anything risky why we should not just rebase and only cherry-pick this particular change.

So I will wait for the customer to verify the fix and then I will proceed with the update in rhel 9.3.
Comment 6 Jakub Jelen 2023-06-08 15:50:46 UTC 
The diff with this rebase is is visible in github:

https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/CCID/compare/1.4.36...1.5.2

Important changes:
 * support for new readers and update to existing (most of the no-code changes)
 * code workaround for ALCOR MICRO AU9540
 * code workaround for SAFENET ETOKEN 5100
 * minor code refactoring, cleanup and fixes
