USB Devices Can Crack Windows | |

Vulnerabilities in USB drivers for Windows could allow an attacker to take control of locked workstations using a specially programmed Universal Serial Bus device, according to an executive from SPI Dynamics, which discovered the security hole. The buffer-overflow vulnerabilities could enable an attacker to circumvent Windows security and gain administrative access to a user's machine. This is just the latest example of a growing danger posed by peripheral devices that use USB (Universal Serial Bus), FireWire and wireless networking connections, which are often overlooked in the search for remotely exploitable security holes, experts say. | ||
