Package: mozilla-opensc
Version: 0.11.1-2
Severity: normal

The Finnish national identity cards (FINEID) contain two secret keys:
one of them is for common authentication and the other is for
nonrepudiable signatures backed by law.  These keys have different PINs;
PIN1 is for common auth and PIN2 is for signatures.

It is obvious that PIN2 should only ever be requested when a signature
is needed.  Therefore, asking for PIN2 when logging in to a website is
harmful.  This is, however, what happens when using mozilla-opensc.
