6.0 MEDIUM

Local access with pre-existing administrator rights drives AV:L and PR:H; low complexity, and the flaw both discloses sensitive data (C:H) and enables host DoS (A:H) with no integrity impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

Allocation of Resources Without Limits and Throttling and Sensitive Information in Resource Not Removed Before Reuse in the ASUS System Control Interface driver and ASUS Business Manager allow a local administrator to disclose sensitive information via crafted IOCTL requests, which, in severe cases, may lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) on the system. Refer to the ' Security Update for ASUS System Control Interface  ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

AnalysisAI

Local information disclosure and denial of service in the ASUS System Control Interface driver (v3 and earlier) and ASUS Business Manager lets a user already holding local administrator rights issue crafted IOCTL requests to read leftover sensitive data from kernel/driver buffers and, in severe cases, exhaust unthrottled resources to crash the host. The flaw stems from missing resource limits (CWE-770) combined with reuse of memory that still contains prior sensitive contents. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and it is not listed in CISA KEV; ASUS self-reported and issued an advisory.

Technical ContextAI

The affected components are ASUS's endpoint management stack shipped on ASUS commercial/business notebooks: the System Control Interface (SCI) kernel-mode driver and the System Control Interface v3 driver, plus the ASUS Business Manager application (per CPE cpe:2.3:a:asus:system_control_interface_v3, cpe:2.3:a:asus:system_control_interface, and cpe:2.3:a:asus:business_manager). These drivers expose IOCTL device interfaces so user-mode software can query hardware/firmware state. The root cause is CWE-770, Allocation of Resources Without Limits and Throttling, allowing a caller to drive unbounded resource consumption, compounded by a sensitive-information-not-removed-before-reuse condition where a returned buffer still holds data from a previous allocation. Crafted IOCTL parameters cause the driver to return uninitialized/stale kernel buffer contents to the caller and/or to allocate resources without bound.

RemediationAI

Patch available per vendor advisory: update the ASUS System Control Interface / System Control Interface v3 driver and ASUS Business Manager to the fixed builds described in the 'Security Update for ASUS System Control Interface' section of the ASUS Security Advisory at https://www.asus.com/security-advisory/ (exact fixed version not provided in this dataset - obtain it from that advisory). Because exploitation requires local administrator rights, the most effective compensating control until patching is to tightly restrict and monitor local administrator membership on affected ASUS notebooks, since an admin is the only actor who can trigger the crafted IOCTL path. Where ASUS Business Manager and the SCI driver are not needed for fleet management, uninstalling or disabling those components removes the vulnerable IOCTL interface entirely (trade-off: loss of ASUS hardware-management and firmware-control features). Endpoint monitoring for anomalous IOCTL access to the SCI device object can serve as a detection control but does not prevent the issue.
