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.

Quoting from bug 596426 comment 43:

The patch pcsc-lite-1.5.2-overflow.patch in pcsc-lite-1.5.2-6.el6.src.rpm
breaks SCardGetAttrib on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. It will always return
SCARD_E_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER regardless of buffer size.

Case 1. If buffer is less than or equal to MAX_BUFFER_SIZE the patched in check
in MSGFunctionDemarshall will fail with SCARD_E_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER.

case SCARD_GET_ATTRIB:
  gsStr = ((getset_struct *) msgStruct->data);
  rv = MSGCheckHandleAssociation(gsStr->hCard, dwContextIndex);
  if (rv != 0) return rv;

  /* avoids buffer overflow */
  if (gsStr->cbAttrLen <= sizeof(gsStr->pbAttr))
  {
      gsStr->rv = SCARD_E_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER ;
      break;
  } 

Case 2. If buffer is larger than MAX_BUFFER_SIZE the call fail in
winscard_clnt.c:SCardGetSetAttrib instead. The result is
SCARD_E_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER. (This case is not affected by the patch)

Case 3. If buffer is set to NULL to query required buffer
size. SCardGetSetAttrib will set buffer size to MAX_BUFFER_SIZE and the call
will fail as in case 1.

Not sure if this is the right bug to report this in or what the buffer size check is supposed to achieve but it will definitely make SCardGetAttrib defunct.

Verified Sanity Only, with the fix SSO with smart cards caused no regressions.
