Untrusted Pointer Dereference in ASUS GPU Tweak III, GPUTweakII, AI Suite3, and VGAdll: An IOCTL vulnerability allows a local attacker to write a specific value to an arbitrary memory address, potentially leading to privilege escalation. Refer to the '  Security Update for ASUS GPU Tweak III, GPU Tweak II, AI Suite 3, and Armoury Crate Security Bulletin   ' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Kernel software from a non-secure operating system on a platform with Trusted Execution Environment support, may cause GPU Firmware to boot up using data from non-secure memory. The GPU thread of control (Firmware) uses a pointer from non-secure memory belonging to the Rich Execution Environment (REE) when saving or retrieving internal data between the tightly coupled private memory to main memory. An attacker with control over the REE kernel may modify the pointer value, corrupting the data used by the GPU Firmware.

A maliciously crafted BMP file, when parsed through certain Autodesk products, can force a Untrusted Pointer Dereference vulnerability. A malicious actor can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.

Memory Corruption while processing IOCTL device driver requests with invalid arguments.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Clear __hyp_running_vcpu when flushing the pKVM hyp vCPU flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vCPU context into the hyp's private vCPU on every run. ctxt_to_vcpu() expects a guest context to have a NULL __hyp_running_vcpu, which is only ever set on the host context, so that it resolves the vCPU via container_of(). While this is generally the case, flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the context verbatim and does not enforce this, so a value provided by the host is dereferenced at EL2 (host -> EL2). Fix by clearing __hyp_running_vcpu after the copy.

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.

Bridge is affected by an Untrusted Pointer Dereference vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Microsoft Office Excel allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Windows USB Hub Driver allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Windows Resilient File System (ReFS) allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Windows Domain Controller allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Windows DirectX allows an authorized attacker to execute code locally.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Untrusted pointer dereference in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

IBM HTTP Server 8.5, and 9.0 is vulnerable to invalid pointer dereference. A privileged user, authenticated to the Administration Server, could exploit this vulnerability to expose sensitive information or cause a denial of service.

An untrusted pointer dereference in the ionic cloud driver for VMWare ESXi could allow an attacker with an unprivileged VM to read kernel memory or co-located guest VM memory, potentially resulting in loss of confidentiality or availability.

Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Kernel allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

Untrusted pointer dereference for some Intel(R) QuickAssist Adapter 8960 software before version 1.13 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
