PC/SC Lite provides a Windows SCard compatible interface for communicating with smart cards, smart card readers, and other security tokens. Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in the way the pcscd daemon, a resource manager that coordinates communications with smart card readers and smart cards connected to the system, handled client requests. A local user could create a specially-crafted request that would cause the pcscd daemon to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. Users of pcsc-lite should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. After installing this update, the pcscd daemon will be restarted automatically.
