Doc Text:
A vulnerability was found in OpenSC, OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, and CTK. An attacker could use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response to APDUs. Insufficient or missing checking of return values of functions leads to unexpected work with variables that have not been initialized.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-09-02 18:36:43 UTC
The reported issues are part of the libopensc library, which makes them
accessible from OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, or CTK.
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.

Insufficient or missing checking of return values of functions leads to
unexpected work with variables that have not been initialized.
The uninitialized variables were reflected in the following functions:

- bcdmp, called from cac_list_compare_path
- cardos_lifecycle_get
- sc_pkcs15_read_file
