DescriptionCVE.org

ASRock Polychrome SYNC/RGB software utility developed by ASRock Inc. has an Improper Access Control vulnerability. Authenticated local attackers can send a specially crafted IOCTL request to cause the driver to write to improperly restricted I/O ports, resulting in a forced operating system reboot.

AnalysisAI

ASRock Polychrome SYNC/RGB kernel driver improperly restricts I/O port access via its IOCTL interface, allowing any authenticated local user to force an OS reboot. The driver, installed as part of ASRock's RGB lighting control software for motherboards and VGA cards, accepts crafted IOCTL requests without sufficient validation of target I/O ports, enabling a low-privileged local attacker to cause system-wide availability failure. …
