[pkg-opensc-maint] Bug#1013634: opensc: infinite loop in card_detect when unplugging yubikey

[Julien Cristau]

Package: opensc
Version: 0.22.0-2+b1
Severity: important

Hi,

I recently started seeing firefox's socket thread go in an infinite loop
after unplugging my yubikey (not all the time, maybe once a week or so).
I initially reported the bug to Mozilla at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1769942 but AFAICT from
more debugging it actually comes from opensc: card_detect never
finishes, it keeps calling sc_detect_card_presence in a loop here:
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/blob/0.22.0/src/pkcs11/slot.c#L220
Per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1769942#c6, this commit
may be relevant:
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/commit/738588fd2b1c69794ba9ebe7bdb898486e001ecb

Cheers,
Julien
