Synopsis

coolkey bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated coolkey packages that fix several bugs and add an enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Coolkey is a smart card support library for the CoolKey, CAC (Common Access Card), and PIV (Personal Identity Verification) smart cards.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, Coolkey was unable to recognize PIV-I cards. This update fixes the bug and Coolkey now allows these cards to be read and display certificate information as expected. (BZ#861108)

• Prior to this update, The pkcs11_listcerts and pklogin_finder utilities were unable to recognize certificates and USB tokens on smart cards after upgrading the Coolkey library. A patch has been provided to address this issue and these utilities now work as expected. (BZ#879563)

• Previously, the remote-viewer utility failed to utilize a plugged smart card reader when a Spice client was running. Eventually, the client could terminate unexpectedly. Now, remote-viewer recognizes the reader and offers authentication once the card is inserted and the crashes no longer occur. (BZ#806038)

• Previously, certain new PIV-II smart cards could not be recognized by client card readers, the ESC card manager, or the pklogin_finder utility. A patch has been provided to address this issue and PIV-II cards now work with Coolkey as expected. (BZ#884266)

This update also adds the following enhancement:

• Support for Oberthur Smart Cards has been added to the Coolkey library. (BZ#805693)

Users of coolkey are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add this enhancement.
