A vulnerability was found in OpenSC. This issue causes a buffer overrun in the pkcs15 cardoshaveverifyrcpackage. This flaw allows an attacker to supply a smart card package with a malformed ASN1 context. The cardoshaveverifyrcpackage function scans the ASN1 buffer for two tags, where the remaining length is wrongly calculated due to a moved starting pointer, leading to a possible heap-based buffer out-of-bounds read. In cases where ASN is enabled while compiling, this problem causes a crash, and further information leaks or more damage is likely.

A flaw was found in OpenSC packages that allow a potential PIN bypass. When a token/card is authenticated by one process, it can perform cryptographic operations in other processes when an empty zero-length pin is passed. This issue poses a security risk, particularly for OS logon/screen unlock and for small, permanently connected tokens to computers. Additionally, the token can internally track login status. This flaw allows an attacker to gain unauthorized access, carry out malicious actions, or compromise the system without the user's awareness.

An out-of-bounds read in MyEID driver handling encryption using symmetric keys. An attacker with physical access to the computer running opensc and crafted USB device or smart card that would present the system with specially crafted responses to the APDUs so they are considered a high-complexity and low-severity.

This issue is in the code handling symmetric keys, which are not widely used for example for desktop login so most of the deployments are not affected.
