b.badrignans discovered that OpenSC, a set of smart card utilities, could store private data on a smart card without proper access restrictions. Only blank cards initialised with OpenSC are affected by this problem. This update only improves creating new private data objects, but cards already initialised with such private data objects need to be modified to repair the access control conditions on such cards. Instructions for a variety of situations can be found at the OpenSC web site: http://www.opensc-project.org/security.html The oldstable distribution (etch) is not affected by this problem.
