RHBA-2012:0948 - Bug Fix Advisory

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.
