Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Exposed Dangerous Method or Function in ASUS Armoury Crate allow a local user to cause a brief system stall by bypassing driver authentication and sending requests to trigger system management interrupts (SMIs). Repeatedly triggering SMI may lead to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.Refer to the ' Security Update for Armoury Crate App ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
AnalysisAI
Local denial-of-service in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a low-privileged local user to bypass driver-level authentication and directly invoke the driver's System Management Interrupt (SMI) triggering capability, a function classified under CWE-749 as an exposed dangerous method. Repeatedly calling this function forces the CPU into System Management Mode in rapid succession, producing brief but repeatable system stalls that can escalate into a denial-of-service condition. …
