Executive Summary

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Thales SafeNet Authentication Client (SAC) SIS token engine. This flaw can be triggered by a malicious physical or emulated smart card before authentication or PIN entry. It may lead to denial of service or arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the affected process.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow attackers to crash the system (denial of service) or execute malicious code on your device. Since it can be triggered before authentication, it poses a risk even without valid credentials.

Mitigation Strategies

Update Thales SafeNet Authentication Client (SAC) to a version prior to 10.8 R7 or SAC 10.9 R3 GA (build 10.9.7449). Disable or remove the SIS token engine if not required. Restrict physical and software access to smart card interfaces.
