Description Andrej Nemec 2017-01-04 12:02:47 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in PCSC-Lite.  The SCardReleaseContext function normally releases resources associated with the given handle (including "cardsList") and clients should cease using this handle. A malicious client can however make the daemon invoke SCardReleaseContext and continue issuing other commands that use "cardsList", resulting in a use-after-free.  When SCardReleaseContext is invoked multiple times, it additionally results in a double-free of "cardsList".
