The gemsafe GPK smart card software driver in OpenSC before 0.21.0-rc1 has a stack-based buffer overflow in sc_pkcs15emu_gemsafeGPK_init. References: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=20612
Created opensc tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: epel-6 [bug 1885951] Affects: fedora-all [bug 1885952]
Flaw summary: In `sc_pkcs15emu_gemsafeGPK_init()` routine in src/libopensc/pkcs15-gemsafeGPK.c, kinfo was defined as `keyinfo kinfo[8];` but an off-by-one error in loop `for (i = 7; i < 16; i++)` could access up to `kinfo[9]`, causing a stack buffer overflow and passing this to sc_read_record(), potentially causing an out-of-bounds write. The patch declares `keyinfo kinfo[9]` instead. Upstream patch: https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/commit/ed55fcd2996930bf58b9bb57e9ba7b1f3a753c43
Mitigation: This flaw can be mitigated in cases where you can use opensc without the gemsafeGPK driver enabled. In such cases, the vulnerable driver can be disabled by specifying them in /etc/opensc.conf card_drivers field in allowlist fashion. One such example: ``` app default { card_drivers = cac, cac1, PIV-II; } ``` This would only enable the cac, cac1, and PIV-II smart card drivers, and all others would be disabled, including the gemsafeGPK driver. With the gemsafeGPK driver disabled, this flaw is mitigated. It is important to list all drivers that you need in the card_drivers field so that they are not disabled too.
AFAIK, the fix for this issue is the following commit: https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/commit/ed55fcd2996930bf58b9bb57e9ba7b1f3a753c43 As mentioned in the issue, I was not able to reproduce the issue with the given vectors (and I am not able to reproduce it now either), but the following issue looks very similar: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=22319
