[conspire] USB security vulnerability.

Well, actually in current MS-Windows USB device drivers.

Article points out that device drivers run in kernelspace, and therefore
any buffer overflows in badly written device drivers may be exploitable
with system privilege.  But we knew that.  That's why fixing significant
kernel bugs is important.

The piece appears to be a thinly disguised effort at business promotion
from SPI Dynamics, a "network security testing" consultancy.
