Created:January 4, 2011 Updated:January 25, 2011
Description: From the Red Hat bugzilla:

Three stack-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way OpenSC device drivers for A-Trust ACOS, ACS ACOS5 and STARCOS SPK 2.3 based smart cards processed certain values of card serial number. A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code, with the privileges of the user running the opesc-tool or opensc-explorer binaries via a malicious smart card, with specially-crafted value of its serial number, inserted to the system.
