RHBA-2014:1233 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated coolkey packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

Coolkey is a smart card support library for the CoolKey, CAC, and PIV smart
cards.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the number of encryption keys that the coolkey applet can process

was increased from 8 to 24. However, this number was not increased in the
coolkey library. As a consequence, a token running the coolkey application
failed to recover the encryption key, when nine or more encryption keys were set
by the coolkey applet. This update introduces the support for up to 24
encryption keys to the coolkey library, and recovering more than 8 encryption
keys now proceeds correctly. (BZ#995560)

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.
