Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-17 06:31 – Updated: 2025-12-17 06:31

Details

An uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability affects certain ASUS motherboards using Intel B460, B560, B660, B760, H410, H510, H610, H470, Z590, Z690, Z790, W480, W680 series chipsets. Exploitation requires physical access to internal expansion slots to install a specially crafted device and supporting software utility, and may lead to uncontrolled resource consumption that increases the risk of unauthorized direct memory access (DMA). Refer to the 'Security Update for UEFI firmware' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Severity

7.0 (High)
