Last modified
CVE-2008-3972 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. pkcs15-tool in OpenSC before 0.11.6 does not apply security updates to a smart card unless the card's label matches the "OpenSC" string, which might allow physically proximate attackers to exploit vulnerabilities that the card owner expected were patched, as demonstrated by exploitation of CVE-2008-2235.. EPSS estimates a 0.37% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
