CVE-2023-4535 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability discovered in OpenSC packages, specifically within the MyEID driver when handling symmetric key encryption. The vulnerability was disclosed in November 2023 and affects OpenSC versions from 0.17.0 up to 0.23.0 (NVD).

The vulnerability is characterized as an out-of-bounds read issue that occurs during the handling of symmetric key encryption in the MyEID driver. The flaw has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 3.8 (LOW) from NVD and 4.5 (MEDIUM) from Red Hat, with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L (NVD).

The vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate APDU responses and potentially gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, compromising the system's security. The impact is considered low to medium severity due to the specific conditions required for exploitation (Red Hat Bugzilla).

The vulnerability has been fixed in OpenSC version 0.24.0-rc1. Users are advised to upgrade to this version or later to address the security issue. The fix was implemented through a patch that corrects the out-of-bounds read in the MyEID driver (OpenSC Commit).
