[Caiyuan Xie <caiyuan.xie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

driver, which might allow an attacker to execute malicious code. ALPS ALPINE 
has released updates to mitigate this potential vulnerability.
Vulnerability Details:
The ALPS ALPINE Touchpad driver may try to load DLLs that are not always 
present in the driver package. If an attacker can gain control of one of the 
DLL search directories, a malicious copy of the DLL can be placed in that 
directory and make the vulnerable ALPS ALPINE driver component run malicious 
code in it.
CVE: CVE-2020-15596

CVSS Base Score: 6.4 Medium (if the attacker can get administrative privileges)

CVSS Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Recommendation:
ALPS ALPINE has worked with OEMs and ODMs to develop software updates that can 
protect systems from the vulnerability. The solution has been confirmed by 
AFINE, who discovered and reported the vulnerability.
End users and systems administrators should check with their system 
manufacturers and system software vendors and apply any available updates as 
soon as practical.
Acknowledgments:
ALPS ALPINE would like to thank AFINE for finding the vulnerability and 
validating the solution, as well as the OEM and ODM partners for their support.
