opensc: insufficient access restrictions

Package(s):opensc CVE #(s):CVE-2009-0368
Created:March 19, 2009 Updated:June 1, 2009
Description: opensc has a vulnerability involving insufficient access restrictions on private data. From the Red Hat alert:

OpenSC stores private data without proper access restrictions. User "b.badrignans" reported this security problem on December 4th, 2008. In June 2007 support form private data objects was added to OpenSC. Only later a severe security bug was found out: while the OpenSC PKCS#11 implementation requires PIN verification to access the data, low level APDU commands or debugging tools like opensc-explorer or opensc-tool can access the private data without any authentication. This was fixed in OpenSC 0.11.7.
