Sensitive Information in Resource Not Removed Before Reuse in ASUS Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to disclose sensitive information from uninitialized memory via a crafted IOCTL request that bypasses the driver's security verification mechanism. Refer to the ' Security Update for Armoury Crate App ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
AnalysisAI
Uninitialized kernel memory disclosure through the ASUS Armoury Crate Windows driver allows a local low-privileged user to read sensitive data from previously used kernel buffers. The attacker crafts a malicious IOCTL request that bypasses the driver's built-in security verification mechanism, triggering a read of uncleared memory content (CWE-226). …
