Amazon Linux 2 : opensc (ALAS-2023-2262)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 181721

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of opensc installed on the remote host is prior to 0.19.0-5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2262 advisory.

- OpenSC before 0.20.0-rc1 has an out-of-bounds access of an ASN.1 Bitstring in decode_bit_string in libopensc/asn1.c. (CVE-2019-15945)

- OpenSC before 0.20.0-rc1 has an out-of-bounds access of an ASN.1 Octet string in asn1_decode_entry in libopensc/asn1.c. (CVE-2019-15946)

- An issue was discovered in OpenSC through 0.19.0 and 0.20.x through 0.20.0-rc3. libopensc/card-setcos.c has an incorrect read operation during parsing of a SETCOS file attribute. (CVE-2019-19479)

- OpenSC before 0.20.0 has a double free in coolkey_free_private_data because coolkey_add_object in libopensc/card-coolkey.c lacks a uniqueness check. (CVE-2019-20792)

- The Oberthur smart card software driver in OpenSC before 0.21.0-rc1 has a heap-based buffer overflow in sc_oberthur_read_file. (CVE-2020-26570)

- The gemsafe GPK smart card software driver in OpenSC before 0.21.0-rc1 has a stack-based buffer overflow in sc_pkcs15emu_gemsafeGPK_init. (CVE-2020-26571)

- The TCOS smart card software driver in OpenSC before 0.21.0-rc1 has a stack-based buffer overflow in tcos_decipher. (CVE-2020-26572)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Run 'yum update opensc' to update your system.
