Pardus Linux Security Advisory 2011-22            security@pardus.org.tr
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Date: 2011-02-02
  Severity: 3
      Type: Local
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

A flaw was fixed in  ccid,  which  could  be  exploited  by  physically 
proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code . 

Description
===========

Signedness error in ccid_serial.c in libccid in the USB Chip/Smart Card 
Interface Devices (CCID) driver, as used in pcscd in PCSC-Lite 1.5.3 and
possibly  other products,  allows  physically  proximate  attackers  to 
execute arbitrary code via a smart card with a  crafted  serial  number 
that causes a negative value to be used in a  memcpy  operation,  which 
triggers a buffer overflow. NOTE: some sources refer to this issue as an
integer overflow. 

Affected packages:

  Pardus 2009:
    ccid, all before 1.3.11-5-4

Resolution
==========

There are update(s) for ccid. You can update them via Package Manager or
with a single command from console: 

    pisi up ccid
