It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-417 advisory.

  - Potential PIN bypass.When the token/card was plugged into the computer and authenticated from one process,     it could be used to provide cryptographic operations from different process when the empty, zero-length     PIN and the token can track the login status using some of its internals. This is dangerous for OS     logon/screen unlock and small tokens that are plugged permanently to the computer. (CVE-2023-40660)     (CVE-2023-40660, CVE-2023-40661)

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2023:7879 advisory.

    The OpenSC set of libraries and utilities provides support for working with smart cards. OpenSC focuses on     cards that support cryptographic operations and enables their use for authentication, mail encryption, or     digital signatures.

    Security Fix(es):

    * OpenSC: Potential PIN bypass when card tracks its own login state (CVE-2023-40660)

    * OpenSC: multiple memory issues with pkcs15-init (enrollment tool) (CVE-2023-40661)

    * OpenSC: out-of-bounds read in MyEID driver handling encryption using symmetric keys (CVE-2023-4535)

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the opensc-0.23.0-3.el9 build changelog.

  - Potential PIN bypass (CVE-2023-40660)

  - Dynamic analyzers reports in pkcs15init (CVE-2023-40661)

  - Out-of-bounds read in MyEID driver handling encryption using symmetric keys (CVE-2023-4535)

The version of opensc installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-4535 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in OpenSC packages within the MyEID driver when handling     symmetric key encryption. Exploiting this flaw requires an attacker to have physical access to the     computer and a specially crafted USB device or smart card. This flaw allows the attacker to manipulate     APDU responses and potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, compromising the system's     security. (CVE-2023-4535)

The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2023:7879 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in OpenSC packages that allow a potential PIN bypass. When a token/card is authenticated     by one process, it can perform cryptographic operations in other processes when an empty zero-length pin     is passed. This issue poses a security risk, particularly for OS logon/screen unlock and for small,     permanently connected tokens to computers. Additionally, the token can internally track login status. This     flaw allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access, carry out malicious actions, or compromise the system     without the user's awareness. (CVE-2023-40660)

  - Several memory vulnerabilities were identified within the OpenSC packages, particularly in the card     enrollment process using pkcs15-init when a user or administrator enrolls cards. To take advantage of     these flaws, an attacker must have physical access to the computer system and employ a custom-crafted USB     device or smart card to manipulate responses to APDUs. This manipulation can potentially allow compromise     key generation, certificate loading, and other card management operations during enrollment.
