Title:	Microsoft Windows HID Functionality (Over USB) Code Execution Vulnerability (Jan 2011)
Summary:	A USB device driver software is prone to a code execution; vulnerability.
Description:	Summary: A USB device driver software is prone to a code execution vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The flaw is due to error in USB device driver (hidserv.dll), which does not properly warn the user before enabling additional Human Interface Device (HID) functionality. Vulnerability Impact: Successful exploitation will allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary programs via crafted USB data. Affected Software/OS: All Microsoft Windows systems with an enabled USB device driver and no local protection mechanism against the automatic enabling of additional Human Interface Device (HID). Solution: No solution or patch was made available for at least one year since disclosure of this vulnerability. Likely none will be provided anymore. General solution options are to upgrade to a newer release, disable respective features, remove the product or replace the product by another one. A workaround is to introduce device filtering on the target host to only allow trusted USB devices to be enabled automatically. Once this workaround is in place an overwrite for this vulnerability can be created to mark it as a false positive. CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
