The USB kernel-mode drivers in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, R2, and R2 SP1, Windows 7 Gold and SP1, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012 do not properly handle objects in memory, which allows physically proximate attackers to execute arbitrary code by connecting a crafted USB device, aka "Windows USB Descriptor Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-1286 and CVE-2013-1287.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a Windows USB driver memory-handling flaw. A nearby attacker could connect a specially crafted USB device and run code on the affected machine. Business urgency is highest for legacy Windows systems in physically accessible areas. Exposure is limited to the Windows versions named in the CVE and requires physical proximity or equivalent USB device access. Internet-only exposure is not supported by the provided sources. Treat this as high priority for legacy Windows systems in public, shared, or uncontrolled locations. The attack is not remote, but successful exploitation could execute arbitrary code on the host. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MS13-027 for vendor update and deployment guidance.; Inventory systems running the Windows versions named in the CVE.; Restrict physical USB access to exposed or shared workstations..
