ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1766598218 advisory.

  - A vulnerability was found in OpenSC, OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, and CTK. The problem is
    missing initialization of variables expected to be initialized (as arguments to other functions, etc.).
    (CVE-2024-45615)

  - A vulnerability was found in OpenSC, OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, and CTK. An attacker could
    use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response
    to APDUs. The following problems were caused by insufficient control of the response APDU buffer and its
    length when communicating with the card. (CVE-2024-45616)

  - A vulnerability was found in OpenSC, OpenSC tools, PKCS#11 module, minidriver, and CTK. An attacker could
    use a crafted USB Device or Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response
    to APDUs. Insufficient or missing checking of return values of functions leads to unexpected work with
    variables that have not been initialized. (CVE-2024-45617)

  - A vulnerability was found in the pkcs15-init tool in OpenSC. An attacker could use a crafted USB Device or
    Smart Card, which would present the system with a specially crafted response to APDUs. When buffers are
    partially filled with data, initialized parts of the buffer can be incorrectly accessed. (CVE-2024-45620)
