Description
The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of uninitialized resources in pkcs15-init in OpenSC. An attacker with physical access to the system can use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response to APDUs. When buffers are partially filled with data, initialized parts of the buffer can be incorrectly accessed.
