Calendar Grey June 19, 2009
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Correct overly permissive world writable permissions on the pcsc-lite directory in Fedora 11 by following these essential steps for security.
Correct directory with world writeable permissions but no sticky bit set.

Summary

The purpose of PC/SC Lite is to provide a Windows(R) SCard interface

in a very small form factor for communicating to smartcards and

readers. PC/SC Lite uses the same winscard API as used under

Windows(R). This package includes the PC/SC Lite daemon, a resource

manager that coordinates communications with smart card readers and

smart cards that are connected to the system, as well as other command

line tools.

Update Information:

Correct directory with world writeable permissions but no sticky bit set.
