RHBA-2014:1611 - coolkey bug fix update

Synopsis

coolkey bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

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

Description

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

This update fixes the following bug:

  • A certain variable was previously uninitialized in the coolkey code. If that variable inherited a single "magic" value, coolkey could fail to present any certificates or keys that were stored in a smart card controlled by coolkey (a CAC, PIV, or coolkey card). Consequently, although the smart card was recognized, the certificates and keys were not visible to some applications. With this update, that variable is now initialized to a safe value and coolkey now presents its certificates and keys properly. (BZ#1125987)

Users of coolkey 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/site/articles/11258
