Summary

Vulnerability in the MxGeneralIo utility for Moxa industrial x86 computers. An exposed IOCTL with insufficient access control allows a local attacker with high privileges to directly read/write MSR and system memory. This could lead to privilege escalation on Windows 7 or system crash (BSoD) on Windows 10/11.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could escalate privileges or cause a denial of service (BSoD), potentially disrupting industrial systems.

Recommendation

Apply the update from Moxa for the MxGeneralIo utility.

Original NVD description (English source)

An exposed IOCTL with an  insufficient access control vulnerability has been identified in the utility, MxGeneralIo, for Moxa’s industrial x86 computers. The affected utility, MxGeneralIo, exposes IOCTL methods that permit direct read and write access to MSR and system memory. A local attacker with high privileges could abuse these interfaces to perform unauthorized operations. Successful exploitation may result in privilege escalation on Windows 7 systems or cause a system crash (BSoD) on Windows 10 and 11 systems, leading to a denial-of-service condition. The vulnerability could slightly affect the confidentiality and integrity of the device, but availability might be heavily impacted. No impact to the subsequent system has been identified.
