Summary
Realtek RtUsbA64.sys, the USB audio driver, is affected in version 6.3.9600.2393. A kernel I/O control interface acts on a caller-supplied user-mode pointer without proper validation or capture. A local user with low privileges can issue crafted property requests to gain kernel-mode read and write access, which enables local privilege escalation and arbitrary kernel code execution.

Description from the CNA
A vulnerability in Realtek's RtUsbA64.sys USB audio driver allows a local, low-privileged user to abuse a kernel I/O control (IOCTL) interface that acts on a caller-supplied user-mode pointer without proper validation or capture. By issuing crafted property requests an attacker can obtain kernel-mode read and write access, which can be leveraged for local privilege escalation and arbitrary kernel code execution.
