[Pcsclite-muscle] Bug report

[Laurent De Buyst]

Hello,

I have uncovered a bug affecting libccid version 1.4.15-1, which is the 
official version available for Ubuntu's latest release Trusty Tahir 
(14.04)

The same error is present in 1.4.16-1 (available in the repository for the 
upcoming Ubuntu release) but NOT in 1.4.12-1 (the version for the previous 
Ubuntu release).


I believe that the best way for me to show the bug as specifically as 
possible are the following two screenshots. They are captures of the 
Firefox list of security devices (Preferences -> Advanced -> Certificates 
-> Security Devices).

The first image is of a working situation (ie. libccid 1.4.12-1):

And this is with the broken situation (1.4.15-1):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/59310900/badcard.png


As you can see, two fields are somehow not correctly read: Label and 
Serial Number.

As far as I can tell, the effect of this is that Firefox (or the 
middleware) cannot find the certificate for this card and thus the card 
becomes totally unusable.

For the rest the driver works fine, the card is detected when inserted and 
everything, pcsc_scan shows the same output on both versions, ... It's 
just those two fields that end up missing and break functionality.


I found this bug because everything was working when my machine was 
running Ubuntu 13.10 but when I upgraded to 14.04 it stopped working.



A small PS: http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid.html still points to 
the old mailing list to which I tried to sign up yesterday...
