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.

Weakness

The use of a hard-coded cryptographic key significantly increases the possibility that encrypted data may be recovered.
