Summary

A physically present attacker who connects a maliciously crafted USB device can trigger unbounded recursion in the topology-parsing logic of Realtek's RtUsbA64.sys USB audio driver during device enumeration. Processing the crafted descriptor exhausts the kernel stack and causes a system crash (bugcheck), which results in denial of service. No authenticated user session is required. The listed affected version is 6.3.9600.2393.
