Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenSC (affected versions not specified)

Description A memory out-of-bounds read issue exists in the pkcs15-init tool. An attacker can exploit this by using a specially crafted USB device or smart card that provides a manipulated response to APDUs (Application Protocol Data Units), which are communication units used between a smart card and a reader. This allows incorrect access to initialized parts of the buffer when it is only partially filled with data, potentially leading to unauthorized access to protected information.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
