Exposure of Sensitive System Information in Armoury Crate Driver

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves the exposure of sensitive system information in the Armoury Crate driver. A local user can obtain kernel virtual addresses by sending a crafted IOCTL request that bypasses the driver's verification process. This could allow the attacker to gain further insight into the kernel memory layout.
