CVE-2020-14979

by Fred · 11/08/2020

The WinRing0.sys and WinRing0x64.sys drivers 1.2.0 in EVGA Precision X1 through 1.0.6 allow local users, including low integrity processes, to read and write to arbitrary memory locations. This allows any user to gain NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM privileges by mapping DevicePhysicalMemory into the calling process.
