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-2013-1285 and CVE-2013-1286.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-1287 is a Windows USB driver memory-handling flaw. An attacker with physical proximity could connect a specially crafted USB device and run arbitrary code on affected Windows systems. The source bundle does not provide a CVSS score or confirm active exploitation. Exposure is most plausible on the Windows versions named in the CVE: XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Server 2012 variants with accessible USB ports. Treat this as high priority for legacy Windows systems in physically accessible locations. Risk is constrained by physical proximity, but kernel-mode arbitrary code execution can lead to full system compromise. Mitigation focus: Review and apply Microsoft MS13-027 guidance for affected systems.; Inventory systems running the Windows versions named in the CVE.; Restrict physical USB access on systems that cannot be immediately remediated..
