Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-05-29 14:16 - Updated: 2026-07-21 12:10
Severity
3.8 (Low) - CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
OpenSC before 0.27.0, fixed in commit 0358817, contains a stack and heap buffer overrun vulnerability in the do_key_value() function in src/pkcs15init/profile.c that allows attackers to corrupt memory by supplying a crafted profile configuration file. During pkcs15-init invocation, a key value entry beginning with '=' followed by more than sizeof(keybuf) characters is copied into keybuf via memcpy without a length check, causing both stack and heap buffer overruns.
