CVE-2024-1460Public exploit

Kernel-address disclosure via physical-memory mapping

Published Mar 7, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Kernel memory disclosure in MSI Afterburner 4.6.5.16370 allows local users with high integrity to obtain a kernel virtual address. RTCore64.sys handles IOCTL 0x80002040 by mapping a caller-selected physical range with MmMapIoSpace and returning the resulting nonpaged kernel virtual address in the system buffer. A high-integrity process must open the driver handle; the demonstrated request exposes writable and executable BIOS-backed memory and the kernel mapping address.
