A double free when handling responses from an HSM Card in sc_pkcs15emu_sc_hsm_init in libopensc/pkcs15-sc-hsm.c in OpenSC before 0.19.0-rc1 could be used by attackers able to supply crafted smartcards to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - A double free when handling responses from an HSM Card in sc_pkcs15emu_sc_hsm_init in libopensc/pkcs15-sc-     hsm.c in OpenSC before 0.19.0-rc1 could be used by attackers able to supply crafted smartcards to cause a     denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact. (CVE-2018-16425)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Several security vulnerabilities were fixed in opensc, a set of libraries and utilities to access smart cards that support cryptographic operations.

Out-of-bounds reads, buffer overflows and double frees could be used by attackers able to supply crafted smart cards to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.16.0-3+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your opensc packages.
