SuSE 11.2 Security Update : openCryptoki (SAT Patch Number 7053)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 64210

Synopsis

The remote SuSE 11 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

openCryptoki had insecure lock file handling, which might have allowed local users with pkcs11 privileges to look at other local users pkcs11 credentials.

Some additional small fixes in pkcsslotd were fixed :

- Set pkcsslotd pid to /var/run/pkcsslotd.pid

- Removed spurious '-' before no-header option on ps

- Sending output of pkcs11_startup to syslog via logger

Solution

Apply SAT patch number 7053.
