Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the Windows USB Driver, exploitable by an authorized attacker over the network. The vulnerability allows an attacker with valid authentication to trigger the overflow condition by sending specially crafted network traffic, bypassing normal access controls to achieve privilege escalation. An attacker who successfully exploits this flaw can execute arbitrary code with system-level privileges. Microsoft has issued a security update to remediate this issue.
