Description msiddiqu 2020-03-31 19:23:05 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in the FingerTipS touchscreen driver in Kernel where there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to a local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
