RHBA-2012:0948 - coolkey bug fix update
Synopsis
coolkey bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory (none)
Topic
Updated coolkey packages that resolve two issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
Coolkey is a smart card support library for the CoolKey, CAC, and PIV smart cards.
These updated coolkey packages provide fixes for the following bugs:
-
Prior to this update, Coolkey did not recognize Spice virtualized CAC cards unless the card contained at least 3 certificates. This update fixes this issue so that cards with one or two certificates are recognized by Coolkey as expected. Note that this issue may also have affected some non-virtualized CAC cards. (BZ#700907)
-
Under certain error conditions, Coolkey could leak memory data because a variable buffer was not being freed properly. With this update, the aforementioned buffer is properly freed, and memory leaks no longer occur. (BZ#713132)
All users of coolkey are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258
