DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows, which can be
exploited by malicious people with physical access to a vulnerable
system to compromise it.

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified boundary error in a
USB device driver and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via
a specially crafted USB device.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with
SYSTEM privileges, but requires physical access to a vulnerable
system

SOLUTION:
Restrict physical access to vulnerable systems.

Disable USB support.
