CVE-2016-10109 PCSC-Lite vulnerability
Title: PCSC-Lite vulnerability
Summary: PCSC-Lite could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator
if it received specially crafted input.
Peter Wu discovered that the PC/SC service did not correctly handle certain
resources. A local attacker could use this issue to cause PC/SC to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with
root privileges.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2016-10109 [HIGH] CVE-2016-10109 pcsc-lite: Use-after-free of cardsList due to SCardReleaseContext invocations
CVE-2016-10109 pcsc-lite: Use-after-free of cardsList due to SCardReleaseContext invocations
A vulnerability was found in PCSC-Lite. The SCardReleaseContext function normally releases resources associated with the given handle (including "cardsList") and clients should cease using this handle. A malicious client can however make the daemon invoke SCardReleaseContext and continue issuing other commands that use "cardsList", resulting in a use-after-free. When SCardReleaseContext is invoked multiple times, it additionally results in a double-free of "cardsList".
