The use-after-free vulnerability was found in the AuthentIC driver in OpenSC packages, occuring in the card enrolment process using pkcs15-init when a user or administrator enrols or modifies cards. An attacker must have physical access to the computer system and requires a crafted USB device or smart card to present the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs, which are considered high complexity and low severity. This manipulation can allow for compromised card management operations during enrolment.

The version of opensc installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-1454 advisory.

    CVE-2021-42779

        A heap use after free issue was found in sc_file_valid().

    CVE-2021-42780

        A use after return issue was found in the insert_pin() function,         which could potentially crash programs using the library.

    CVE-2021-42781
