Description

A vulnerability was found in pkcs15-init in OpenSC. An attacker could use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response to APDUs. Insufficient or missing checking of return values of functions leads to unexpected work with variables that have not been initialized.
