Synopsis:	Moderate: pcsc-lite security update
Issue date:	2010-07-14
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-4901 CVE-2010-0407

Multiple buffer overflow flaws were discovered in the way the pcscd
daemon, a resource manager that coordinates communications with smart
card readers and smart cards connected to the system, handled client
requests. A local user could create a specially-crafted request that
would cause the pcscd daemon to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2010-0407, CVE-2009-4901)

After installing this update, the pcscd daemon will be restarted
automatically.
