CVE-2023-6482
Encryption key derived from static host information
Use of encryption key derived from static information in Synaptics Fingerprint Driver allows
an attacker to set up a TLS session with the fingerprint sensor and send restricted commands to the fingerprint sensor. This may allow an attacker, who has physical access to the sensor, to enroll a fingerprint into the template database.
