Synopsis
========

A vulnerability in PCSC-Lite could result in execution of arbitrary
code or Denial of Service.

Background
==========

PCSC-Lite is a PC/SC Architecture smartcard middleware library.

Affected packages
=================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
     Package              /     Vulnerable     /            Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
  1  sys-apps/pcsc-lite           < 1.6.6                    >= 1.6.6

Description
===========

PCSC-Lite contains a stack-based buffer overflow in the ATRDecodeAtr
function in the
Answer-to-Reset Handler (atrhandler.c).

Impact
======

A physically proximate attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause a
Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All PCSC-Lite users should upgrade to the latest version:

  # emerge --sync
  # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-apps/pcsc-lite-1.6.6"

NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
