Exposed IOCTL Enables Local Privilege Escalation in ASUS System Control Interface

An exposed IOCTL with insufficient access control in ASUS System Control Interface allows a local, low-privileged user to read and write arbitrary physical memory through crafted device control requests, ultimately resulting in a complete compromise of the affected system. Refer to the ' Security Update for ASUS System Control Interface ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Local Out‑of‑Bounds Read via Crafted IOCTL in ASUS System Control Interface

Out-of-bounds Read in ASUS System Control Interface v3, ASUS System Control Interface, and ASUS Business Manager allows a local administrator to read memory regions beyond the intended firmware boundary by supplying a crafted IOCTL request that bypasses the validation. Refer to the ' Security Update for ASUS System Control Interface  ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Untrusted Pointer Dereference in ASUS System Control Interface v3, ASUS System Control Interface, and ASUS Business Manager allows a local administrator to perform arbitrary physical memory read and write operations via crafted IOCTL requests to the driver, bypassing OS-enforced memory protections. Refer to the '  Security Update for ASUS System Control Interface  ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

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.

An Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in the IOCTL handler in ASUS System Control Interface allows a local user to cause system crash (BSOD) via a read size that exceeds the buffer size.Refer to the ' Security Update for MyASUS ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

AsusSoftwareManager.exe in ASUS System Control Interface on ASUS personal computers (running Windows) allows a local user to write into the Temp directory and delete another more privileged file via SYSTEM privileges. This affects ASUS System Control Interface 3 before 3.1.5.0, AsusSoftwareManger.exe before 1.0.53.0, and AsusLiveUpdate.dll before 1.0.45.0.

AsusSwitch.exe on ASUS personal computers (running Windows) sets weak file permissions, leading to local privilege escalation (this also can be used to delete files within the system arbitrarily). This affects ASUS System Control Interface 3 before 3.1.5.0, and AsusSwitch.exe before 1.0.10.0.
