DescriptionCVE.org

Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere in Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to obtain kernel virtual addresses via a crafted IOCTL request by bypassing the driver's verification, potentially providing further insight into the kernel memory layout.Refer to the ' Security Update for Armoury Crate App  ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

AnalysisAI

Kernel virtual address disclosure in the ASUS Armoury Crate Windows driver enables a local low-privileged user to bypass the driver's IOCTL input verification through a crafted request, obtaining kernel virtual addresses and exposing the kernel memory layout. All versions of Armoury Crate are listed as affected per CPE cpe:2.3:a:asus:armoury_crate:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local interactive access to a Windows system with the Armoury Crate kernel driver installed and loaded - a standard (low-privileged) user account is sufficient; no administrative rights are needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.7 (AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) accurately reflects the vulnerability's constrained threat model: it requires a local interactive session with at least low-privileged access and exhibits elevated attack complexity, ruling out opportunistic or remote exploitation. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Update Armoury Crate to the patched version identified in the ASUS Security Advisory at https://www.asus.com/security-advisory/; the exact patched version number is not specified in the available input data and must be confirmed from that advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
