An Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in the ASUS DriverHub update process allows privilege escalation due to improper protection of required execution resources during the validation phase, permitting a local user to make unprivileged modifications. This allows the altered resource to pass system checks and be executed with elevated privileges upon a user-initiated update. Refer to the 'Security Update for ASUS DriverHub' 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.

Missing authentication for a critical function in ASUS Control Center Express Agent allows an unauthenticated nearby user to control the host via a direct connection to the agent when the host has an active login session. Refer to the '  Security Update for ASUS Control Center Express Agent ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

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.
