Package        : pcsc-lite
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2010-0407
Debian Bug     : 585791

The update for PCSCD caused a regression with some card readers. This
update corrects that regression. The full advisory is below for completeness.

It was discovered that PCSCD, a daemon to access smart cards, was vulnerable
to a buffer overflow allowing a local attacker to elevate his privileges
to root.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version
1.4.102-1+lenny3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.5.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pcsc-lite package.
