Release of Invalid Pointer or Reference in Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to free arbitrary memory via a crafted IOCTL request by bypassing the driver's verification, which can corrupt data structures and cause a system crash (BSOD).Refer to the ' Security Update for Armoury Crate App ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
AnalysisAI
Arbitrary memory freeing in the ASUS Armoury Crate kernel driver allows a local low-privileged user to trigger system crashes (BSOD) and corrupt kernel data structures. The driver's IOCTL handling fails to validate pointer references before releasing memory, and an attacker can bypass this verification to free arbitrary kernel memory via a crafted IOCTL request. …
