+ <title>OpenSC: Insufficient protection of smart card PIN</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Smart cards formatted using OpenSC do not sufficiently protect the PIN,
+ allowing attackers to reset it.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">opensc</product>
+ <announced>December 10, 2008</announced>
+ <revised>December 10, 2008: 01</revised>
+ <bug>233543</bug>
+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-libs/opensc" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.11.6</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.11.6</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ OpenSC is a smart card application that allows reading and writing via
+ PKCS#11.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Chaskiel M Grundman reported that OpenSC uses weak permissions (ADMIN
+ file control information of 00) for the 5015 directory on smart cards
+ and USB crypto tokens running Siemens CardOS M4.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A physically proximate attacker can exploit this vulnerability to
+ change the PIN on a smart card and use it for authentication, leading
+ to privilege escalation.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All OpenSC users should upgrade to the latest version, and then check
+ and update their smart cards:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-libs/opensc-0.11.6&quot;
+ # pkcs15-tool --test-update
+ # pkcs15-tool --test-update --update</code>
+ </resolution>
