Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a local user to cause a denial-of-service condition through system memory exhaustion by bypassing driver authentication and allocating an unrestricted amount of memory.Refer to the ' Security Update for Armoury Crate App ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.
AnalysisAI
Memory exhaustion denial-of-service in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a local authenticated user to bypass the kernel-mode driver's authentication mechanism and issue unlimited memory allocation requests, saturating available system memory. The vulnerability is classified CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling) and is scoped to local availability impact only - no confidentiality or integrity loss occurs. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a local user-level account on the target system (CVSS PR:L) and the ability to interact with the ASUS Armoury Crate kernel driver, meaning Armoury Crate must be installed and its driver loaded. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 5.7 (Medium) with vector AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N reflects the realistic constraints of this vulnerability: local access is required and attack complexity is rated High, meaning exploitation is non-trivial and demands the attacker overcome the driver authentication bypass - a condition that is not straightforwardly reproducible. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor-supplied update for Armoury Crate as directed in the ASUS Security Advisory at https://www.asus.com/security-advisory under the 'Security Update for Armoury Crate App' section - the exact patched version is not independently confirmed from available data and should be obtained directly from the advisory. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
