GHSA-78R5-F9G4-5RVR
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-11 21:31 – Updated: 2025-09-11 21:31A potential insufficient access control vulnerability was reported in the Lenovo Dispatcher 3.0 and Dispatcher 3.1 drivers used by some Lenovo consumer notebooks that could allow an authenticated local user to execute code with elevated privileges. The Lenovo Dispatcher 3.2 driver is not affected. This vulnerability does not affect systems when the Windows feature Core Isolation Memory Integrity is enabled. Lenovo systems preloaded with Windows 11 have this feature enabled by default.

GHSA-9FQ9-VH4P-342C
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-08 09:31 – Updated: 2026-04-08 09:31An 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.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-08-06 12:31 – Updated: 2025-08-06 12:31ThrottleStop.sys, a legitimate driver, exposes two IOCTL interfaces that allow arbitrary read and write access to physical memory via the MmMapIoSpace function. This insecure implementation can be exploited by a malicious user-mode application to patch the running Windows kernel and invoke arbitrary kernel functions with ring-0 privileges. The vulnerability enables local attackers to execute arbitrary code in kernel context, resulting in privilege escalation and potential follow-on attacks, such as disabling security software or bypassing kernel-level protections. ThrottleStop.sys version 3.0.0.0 and possibly others are affected. Apply updates per vendor instructions.
