Exposed IOCTL with insufficient access control in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a local user to disclosure information and disabling device functionality by bypassing driver authentication and using IOCTLs to read from and write to PCIe configuration space.Refer to the ' Security Update for Armoury Crate App ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
AnalysisAI
Insufficient access control on an exposed IOCTL interface in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a low-privileged local user to bypass driver-level authentication and directly manipulate PCIe configuration space, enabling both hardware configuration disclosure and hardware disablement. The vulnerability stems from the kernel driver accepting IOCTL requests without validating caller privilege against the required access level, granting unprivileged processes read and write access to raw PCIe registers. …
