DescriptionNVD

AsIO2_64.sys and AsIO2_32.sys in ASUS GPUTweak II before 2.3.0.3 allow low-privileged users to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow. This could enable low-privileged users to achieve Denial of Service via a DeviceIoControl.

AnalysisAI

AsIO2_64.sys and AsIO2_32.sys in ASUS GPUTweak II before 2.3.0.3 allow low-privileged users to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. AsIO2_64.sys and AsIO2_32.sys in ASUS GPUTweak II before 2.3.0.3 allow low-privileged users to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow. This could enable low-privileged users to achieve Denial of Service via a DeviceIoControl. Affected products include: Asus Gputweak Ii. Version information: before 2.3.0.3.

RemediationAI

No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
