DescriptionNVD

The MsIo64.sys component in Asus Aura Sync through v1.07.79 does not properly validate input to IOCTL 0x80102040, 0x80102044, 0x80102050, and 0x80102054, allowing attackers to trigger a memory corruption and cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or escalate privileges via crafted IOCTL requests.

AnalysisAI

The MsIo64.sys component in Asus Aura Sync through v1.07.79 does not properly validate input to IOCTL 0x80102040, 0x80102044, 0x80102050, and 0x80102054, allowing attackers to trigger a memory. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and 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. The MsIo64.sys component in Asus Aura Sync through v1.07.79 does not properly validate input to IOCTL 0x80102040, 0x80102044, 0x80102050, and 0x80102054, allowing attackers to trigger a memory corruption and cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or escalate privileges via crafted IOCTL requests. Affected products include: Asus Aura Sync.

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).
