Microsoft Windows up to XP USB Driver/Memory Object access control

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Microsoft Windows up to XP (Operating System). It has been declared as critical. This vulnerability affects some unknown processing of the component USB Driver/Memory Object Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-264. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, and integrity. CVE summarizes:

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.

The weakness was disclosed 03/12/2013 by Andy Davis with Information Risk Management Plc. as MS13-027 as confirmed bulletin (Microsoft Technet). The advisory is shared for download at technet.microsoft.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2013-1285 since 01/12/2013. The attack needs to be approached locally. Required for exploitation is a single authentication. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1068.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 65215 (MS13-027: Vulnerabilities in Kernel-Mode Drivers Could Allow Elevation Of Privilege (2807986)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Windows : Microsoft Bulletins. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 90871 (Microsoft Windows Kernel-Mode Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (MS13-027)).

Applying the patch MS13-027 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at technet.microsoft.com. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (82415), Tenable (65215), SecurityFocus (BID 58359†), OSVDB (91155†) and Secunia (SA52561†). Additional details are provided at scmagazine.com. The entries VDB-7954, VDB-7955, VDB-7956 and VDB-7957 are pretty similar. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
