Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-60419 can let a local user crash or disrupt a Windows system that has the affected RtkIOAC60.sys driver installed. The known impact is availability loss, not data theft or remote takeover. Public sources do not name a vendor patch or active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate availability risk. It is not described as remotely exploitable, but vulnerable drivers on shared workstations, kiosks, or systems with many local users could create operational disruption.
Technical view
The CVE describes a local denial-of-service flaw in the NDIS Usermode IO driver RtkIOAC60.sys version 6.0.5600.16348. The issue involves crafted IOCTL handling and is classified as CWE-400 resource consumption. CVSS 3.1 is 6.2 with local attack vector and high availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to systems with RtkIOAC60.sys version 6.0.5600.16348 installed and accessible to local users. The CVE record lists affected vendor and product as n/a, so teams should verify driver presence directly instead of assuming a product-wide footprint.
Exploitation context
The provided sources describe local denial of service through a crafted IOCTL request. CISA KEV status is false, and the bundle provides no evidence of active exploitation. Public technical detail exists, but no weaponized exploit status is established here.
Researcher notes
Evidence is narrow: one CVE record and one public technical reference. The CVSS vector says PR:N while the description says local authenticated attackers, so privilege assumptions should be validated against the primary technical write-up and driver access controls.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory endpoints for RtkIOAC60.sys and confirm driver version.
- Check vendor or OEM guidance for updated or removable driver packages.
- Prioritize systems where untrusted local users can execute code.
- Restrict unnecessary local access on systems containing the affected driver.
- Monitor for unexpected crashes involving RtkIOAC60.sys.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether RtkIOAC60.sys version 6.0.5600.16348 exists on managed Windows assets.
- Review crash telemetry for driver-related availability failures.
- Check software and driver management records for installed Realtek-related packages.
- Verify whether vendor guidance or replacement drivers are available.
- Document systems where local users can interact with the affected driver.
