Improper Restriction of Software Interfaces to Hardware Features in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a local user to modify hardware configuration settings and potentially cause hardware damage by bypassing driver authentication and accessing critical model-specific registers.Refer to the ' Security Update for Armoury Crate App' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a low-privileged local user to bypass the software's driver authentication and directly access model-specific registers (MSRs) or other hardware control interfaces, enabling unauthorized modification of hardware configuration settings such as voltage, power limits, and thermal thresholds. This is classified under CWE-1256, which covers software that fails to properly restrict userland access to hardware-level features exposed through drivers. …
