CVE-2018-14779 severity important: SUSE including 33 source package names (libykcs11-1, libykcs11-1-1.5.0-3.16, …), 119 product×package rows across 29 product lines (SUSE CaaS Platform 4.0, SUSE Enterprise Storage 6, … (29 product lines)): Fixed 69, Known Not Affected 50.
A buffer overflow issue was discovered in the Yubico-Piv 1.5.0 smartcard driver. The file lib/ykpiv.c contains the following code in the function `ykpiv_transfer_data()`: {% highlight c %} if(*out_len + recv_len - 2 > max_out) { fprintf(stderr, "Output buffer to small, wanted to write %lu, max was %lu.", *out_len + recv_len - 2, max_out); } if(out_data) { memcpy(out_data, data, recv_len - 2); out_data += recv_len - 2; *out_len += recv_len - 2; } {% endhighlight %} -- it is clearly checked whether the buffer is big enough to hold the data copied using `memcpy()`, but no error handling happens to avoid the `memcpy()` in such cases. This code path can be triggered with malicious data coming from a smartcard.
