Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionNVD
An issue was discovered in the pam_p11 component 0.2.0 and 0.3.0 for OpenSC. If a smart card creates a signature with a length longer than 256 bytes, this triggers a buffer overflow. This may be the case for RSA keys with 4096 bits depending on the signature scheme.
AnalysisAI
An issue was discovered in the pam_p11 component 0.2.0 and 0.3.0 for OpenSC. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. This Buffer Overflow vulnerability could allow attackers to corrupt memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Overflow (CWE-119), which allows attackers to corrupt memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application. An issue was discovered in the pam_p11 component 0.2.0 and 0.3.0 for OpenSC. If a smart card creates a signature with a length longer than 256 bytes, this triggers a buffer overflow. This may be the case for RSA keys with 4096 bits depending on the signature scheme. Affected products include: Opensc Project Opensc.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Use memory-safe languages or bounds-checking. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, stack canaries. Use safe string functions.
