Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A double free vulnerability has been identified in the ASUS System Analysis service. This vulnerability can be triggered by sending specially crafted local RPC requests, leading to the service crash and potentially memory manipulation in some rare circumstances. Refer to the 'Security Update for MyASUS' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

A double free vulnerability exists in the ASUS System Analysis service where specially crafted local RPC requests can cause memory to be freed twice, leading to service crash and potential memory manipulation. This is a memory corruption issue that requires local access to trigger but could allow an attacker to corrupt heap memory for potential code execution.

MitigationApply the official ASUS security update for MyASUS when available. Until then, consider disabling the System Analysis service if not required, and restrict local access to trusted users only.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify if ASUS System Analysis service is installed
    Open Windows Services (services.msc) and look for a service named 'ASUS System Analysis' or check Program Files for ASUS-related software directories
    Affected if The service exists and is installed on the system
  2. Check if the service is running
    Open Task Manager or run 'sc query ASUSSystemAnalysis' (or the actual service name found) to check service status
    Affected if The service is currently running
  3. Identify installed MyASUS or ASUS System Analysis version
    Open Programs and Features in Control Panel, or right-click the MyASUS application in the Start menu and select 'Properties' to view version information
    Affected if The installed version matches the vulnerable version range (compare against official ASUS advisory for specific versions)
  4. Verify local RPC access permissions
    Check the service security descriptor using 'sc sdshow <service_name>' to see who can interact with the service
    Affected if Untrusted local users have permission to send RPC requests to the service

If the ASUS System Analysis service is installed, running, and accessible to untrusted local users, the environment is potentially affected by this double free vulnerability.
