Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Microsoft Windows up to XP (Operating System). This vulnerability affects some unknown functionality of the component Kernel Address Value Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

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-2013-3197 and CVE-2013-3198.

The weakness was presented 08/13/2013 by Mateusz Jurczyk (j00ru) with Google Security Team as MS13-063 as confirmed bulletin (Technet). The advisory is shared for download at technet.microsoft.com.
