Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Stack-based Buffer Overflow via the GET RESPONSE process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by providing a specially crafted USB device or smart card that returns malicious responses to APDUs. This is only exploitable if the attacker has physical access to the computer at the time a user or administrator uses a token.
