2) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU23844

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15946

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing ASN.1 Octet string within the asn1_decode_entry() function in libopensc/asn1.c. A local user can supply specially crafted data to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
