medium Nessus Plugin ID 55085

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Rafael Dominguez Vega discovered that PCSC-Lite incorrectly handled smart cards with malformed ATR messages. An attacker having physical access could exploit this with a special smart card and cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected libpcsclite1 package.
