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.

Disable USB support.
