Last modified

CVE-2023-6482 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.2/10 on the CVSS scale. 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.. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

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.
