Synopsis: Low: ccid security and bug fix update Issue Date: 2013-02-21 CVE Numbers: CVE-2010-4530 -- An integer overflow, leading to an array index error, was found in the way the CCID driver processed a smart card's serial number. A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the PC/SC Lite pcscd daemon (root, by default), by inserting a specially-crafted smart card. (CVE-2010-4530) This update also fixes the following bug: * Previously, CCID only recognized smart cards with 5V power supply. With this update, CCID also supports smart cards with different power supply. -- SL6 x86_64 ccid-1.3.9-6.el6.x86_64.rpm ccid-debuginfo-1.3.9-6.el6.x86_64.rpm i386 ccid-1.3.9-6.el6.i686.rpm ccid-debuginfo-1.3.9-6.el6.i686.rpm - Scientific Linux Development Team
