Debian Lenny: DSA-2059-2 Critical: pcsc-lite Buffer Overflow Fix

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.
