Summary

OpenSC before 0.11.5 uses weak permissions (ADMIN file control information of 00) for the 5015 directory on smart cards and USB crypto tokens running Siemens CardOS M4, which allows physically proximate attackers to change the PIN.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation
    An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

    descriptionThis update fixes a security issues with opensc that occured when initializing blank smart cards with Siemens CardOS M4. After the initialization anyone could set the PIN of the smart card without authorization. (CVE-2008-2235) NOTE: Already initialized cards are still vulnerable after this update. Please use the command-line tool pkcs15-tool with option -test-update and --update when necessary. Please find more information at http://www.opensc-project.org/security.html This is the second attempt to fix this problem. The previous update was unforunately incomplete.

    With this bug anyone can change a user PIN without having the PIN or
    PUK or the superusers PIN or PUK. However it can not be used to figure
    out the PIN. If the PIN on your card is still the same you always had,
    there's a reasonable chance that this vulnerability has not been
    exploited.
    
    This vulnerability affects only smart cards and USB crypto tokens
    based on Siemens CardOS M4, and within that group only those that were
    initialised with OpenSC. Users of other smart cards and USB crypto
    tokens, or cards that have been initialised with some software other
    than OpenSC, are not affected.
    
    After upgrading the package, runningpkcs15-tool -Twill show you
    whether the card is fine or vulnerable. If the card is vulnerable, you
    need to update the security setting using:pkcs15-tool -T -U."

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200812-09 (OpenSC: Insufficient protection of smart card PIN) Chaskiel M Grundman reported that OpenSC uses weak permissions (ADMIN file control information of 00) for the 5015 directory on smart cards and USB crypto tokens running Siemens CardOS M4. Impact : A physically proximate attacker can exploit this vulnerability to change the PIN on a smart card and use it for authentication, leading to privilege escalation. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.

statementSiemens has analyzed this report and states that no security breach can be found in the Siemens CardOS M4 itself and it thus does not relate to any Siemens component. The reported vulnerability (caused by inappropriate personalization) is due to an issue in the OPENSC middleware detailed information can be found under http://www.opensc-project.org/security.html. Therefore, Siemens recommends all customers and partners using OPENSC to use either the current version 0.11.5 of OPENSC in which this vulnerability is fixed or to use the bug fix suggested under http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/3333/. We hope that we could help you with this recommendation. If you have further questions, please contact the Siemens CardOS hotline under: [email protected] Phone: +49 89 636 35996 (Mo.-Fr. 9:00-17:00 German time)
