What is CVE-2016-2393?

Lenovo Fingerprint Manager and Touch Fingerprint are vulnerable due to weak access control lists (ACLs) for certain files and services. This flaw allows local users to gain elevated privileges by bypassing local security checks. The affected versions prior to 8.01.57 for Fingerprint Manager and 1.00.08 for Touch Fingerprint could potentially expose sensitive operations to untrusted users, raising security concerns and necessitating immediate updates to mitigate risks.
