There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 libcacard-tools.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libcacard-tools package and not the libcacard-tools package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
QEMU, when built with the Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) back-end support, allows local guest OS users to cause a denial of service (process crash) via an entropy request, which triggers arbitrary stack based allocation and memory corruption.
