Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU23845

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 2.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15945

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing ASN.1 Bitstring within the decode_bit_string() function in libopensc/asn1.c. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package opensc to version 0.20.0-1.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. The attacker should have physical access to the system in order to successfully exploit this vulnerability.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU23844

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15946

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing ASN.1 Octet string within the asn1_decode_entry() function in libopensc/asn1.c. A local user can supply specially crafted data to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package opensc to version 0.20.0-1.

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19479

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when parsing SETCOS file attribute in libopensc/card-setcos.c. A local user can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

Mitigation

4) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU23846

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19480

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the sc_pkcs15_decode_prkdf_entry() function in libopensc/pkcs15-prkey.c. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

5) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU23847

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19481

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing CAC certificates in libopensc/card-cac1.c. A local user can pass specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package opensc to version 0.20.0-1.
