    Stack buffer overflow issues were found in Opensc before version 0.22.0 in various places that could     potentially crash programs using the library. (CVE-2021-42782)

    A vulnerbility was found in OpenSC. This security flaw cause a buffer overrun vulnerability in pkcs15     cardos_have_verifyrc_package. The attacker can supply a smart card package with malformed ASN1 context.
    The cardos_have_verifyrc_package function scans the ASN1 buffer for 2 tags, where remaining length is     wrongly caculated due to moved starting pointer. This leads to possible heap-based buffer oob read. In     cases where ASAN is enabled while compiling this causes a crash. Further info leak or more damage is     possible. (CVE-2023-2977)
