RHBA-2012:0990 - pcsc-lite bug fix update

Synopsis

pcsc-lite bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated pcsc-lite packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

PC/SC Lite provides a Windows SCard compatible interface for communicating with smart cards, smart card readers, and other security tokens.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the pcscd init script pointed to the wrong value to identify the HAL daemon. It also wrongly started at runlevel 2. As a result, chkconfig did not automatically place pcscd after the start of the HAL daemon, thus pcscd failed to see USB readers. With this update, the pcscd init script has been changed to properly identify the HAL daemon and only start at runlevels 3, 4, and 5, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#812469)

All pcsc-lite users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

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
