7.157. pcsc-lite
Updated pcsc-lite packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
PC/SC Lite provides a Windows SCard compatible interface for communicating with smart cards, smart card readers, and other security tokens.
Bug Fixes
- BZ#956530
- Previously, after a card reader went offline when the user entered the settings menu, the pcsc-lite client could under certain circumstances enter a deadlock state and never recover from it. The underlying source code has been modified so that the client does not wait for an unreleased mutex. As a result, the client does not enter a deadlock state in the described situation, and the reader is accessible again after it returns online.
- BZ#1171118
- On systems with the pcsc-lite-openct package uninstalled, if the pcscd service terminated unexpectedly or was killed, restarting or stopping and starting pcscd failed. This update modifies pcscd to remove the pcscd.comm and pcscd.pub files after pcscd terminates unexpectedly or is killed. As a result, pcscd can be restarted or stopped and started again as expected in the described situation.
Users of pcsc-lite are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
