The remote Fedora host is missing a security update.

Description

This update fixes the following security issue :

An integer overflow, leading to array index error was found in the way USB CCID (Chip/Smart Card Interface Devices) driver processed certain values of card serial number. A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code, with the privileges of the user running the pcscd daemon, via a malicious smart card with specially crafted value of its serial number, inserted to the system USB port.
