Description msiddiqu 2020-03-31 20:18:59 UTC

A vulnerability was found in the FingerTipS touchscreen driver in Kernel where there is a possible use-after-free due to improper locking. This could lead to a local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
