CVE-2026-16006
MediumCVSS 5.7Summary
Exposure of sensitive system information to an unauthorized control sphere in Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to obtain kernel virtual addresses via a crafted IOCTL request by bypassing the driver's verification, potentially providing further insight into the kernel memory layout.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes disclosure of kernel addresses, which may facilitate further attacks on the system.
Recommendation
Install the security update for the Armoury Crate app as per the ASUS Security Advisory.
Other vulnerabilities in ASUS Armoury Crate
See all- CVE-2026-75811Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-75810Medium
Exposed dangerous method or function in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a local user to cause a brief system stall by bypassing driver authentication and sending requests to trigger system management interrupts (SMIs). Repeatedly triggering SMI may lead to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition.
- CVE-2026-75809Medium
Exposed IOCTL with insufficient access control in ASUS Armoury Crate allows a local user to disclose information and disable device functionality by bypassing driver authentication and using IOCTLs to read from and write to PCIe configuration space.
- CVE-2026-75808Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-18023Medium
Sensitive information in resource not removed before reuse in ASUS Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to disclose sensitive information from uninitialized memory via a crafted IOCTL request that bypasses the driver's security verification mechanism.
- CVE-2026-16005Medium
Release of invalid pointer or reference in Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to free arbitrary memory via a crafted IOCTL request by bypassing the driver's verification, which can corrupt data structures and cause a system crash (BSOD).
- CVE-2026-16004Medium
Exposed IOCTL with insufficient access control in Armoury Crate driver allows a local user to read and write arbitrary PCI/PCIe configuration space via crafted IOCTL requests by bypassing the driver's verification.
- CVE-2026-12962Medium
A permissive cross-domain security policy with untrusted domains in Armoury Crate allows a remote user to obtain a local user's NTLM hash by convincing the user to visit a crafted web page that sends a request containing a UNC path to the application's local service endpoint.
- CVE-2026-16727High
A race condition vulnerability in ASUS Armoury Crate. A local user can exploit concurrent execution with improper synchronization to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges via file replacement.
- CVE-2026-8918High
ASUS Armoury Crate has a vulnerability related to a permissive list of allowed inputs, allowing a local administrator to perform arbitrary memory read/write operations or cause a system crash (BSOD) by bypassing the validation mechanism.
