DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in OpenSC, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the
library.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the
"acos_get_serialnr()", "acos5_get_serialnr()", and
"starcos_get_serialnr()" functions when reading out the serial number
of smart cards. This can be exploited to cause buffer overflows via a
specially crafted smart card.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 0.11.13. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the SVN repository.
