RHBA-2012:1343 - 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:

  • Despite the update described in the RHBA-2012:0990 advisory, the chkconfig utility did not automatically place the pcscd init script after the start of the HAL daemon. Consequently, pcscd was unable to recognize USB readers. With this update, the pcscd init script has been changed to explicitly start only after HAL is up, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#851199)

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
