The NT Virtual DOS Machine (NTVDM) subsystem in the kernel in Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2, Windows 7 SP1, and Windows 8 on 32-bit platforms does not properly validate kernel-memory addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted application, aka "Windows Kernel Memory Corruption Vulnerability," a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-3196 and CVE-2013-3198.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-3197 is a legacy Windows kernel issue in NTVDM on 32-bit systems. A local user who can run an application could elevate privileges or crash the system. Business risk is concentrated in old Windows endpoints or servers still capable of running affected 32-bit components. Exposure is limited to 32-bit Windows XP SP3, Server 2003 SP2, Vista SP2, Server 2008 SP2, Windows 7 SP1, and Windows 8 systems. Modern supported Windows estates are unlikely to be affected unless legacy 32-bit platforms remain in service. Treat this as high priority where legacy 32-bit Windows remains operational. The main business concern is that a lower-privileged local user or malware already on a host could gain more control or disrupt service. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft MS13-063 security updates where applicable and available.; Prioritize retirement or isolation of unsupported 32-bit Windows systems.; Restrict interactive and application execution access on legacy affected hosts..
