Windows 10 error gives BSOD when you go to this site

An error in Windows 10 causes a blue screen and crashes your operating system by simply running a specific path in a browser.

The security researcher Jonas Lykkegaard has repeatedly tweeted an unusual path that immediately crashes Windows 10 and displays a BSOD screen when you just run it in the Chrome address bar.

When developers want to interact directly with Windows devices, they can Win3 device names path2, ως argument σε διάφορες προγραμματισμού των Windows. Για παράδειγμα, αυτό επιτρέπει σε μια εφαρμογή να αλληλεπιδρά απευθείας με έναν φυσικό δίσκο, χωρίς να περάσει από το σύστημα αρχείων.

Ο Lykkegaard ανακάλυψε την ακόλουθη διαδρομή, για το «console multiplexer driver» που πιστεύει ότι χρησιμοποιείται για το « / usermode ipc'. Running this path in various ways, even by low-privileged users, causes Windows 10 to crash.

Try it in Chrome

\\. \ globalroot \ device \ condrv \ kernelconnect

CAUTION: You will lose all your jobs that you have not saved !!!

During the on this device, developers expect to communicate with it properly. Lykkegaard discovered that trying to connect to this path will cause a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error in Windows 10.

Even worse, low-privileged Windows users can attempt to log into the device using this path, making it easy for any running on a PC, crash Windows 10.

In our tests, we confirmed this error in Windows 10 version 1709 and later. We could not try it in previous versions.

Although it is not specified whether this error could be exploited for remote code execution or to gain additional privileges, in its current form it could be used as a denial of service attack.

In a real-world scenario, this error could be abused by malicious people who have access to a network and want to track it down during an attack.

If they have administrator credentials, they could remotely execute a command that has access to this path on all Windows 10 devices on a network to cause them to crash. Network damage could delay investigations or prevent controls from detecting an attack on a particular computer.

  1. It does the same with Opera,
    A small difference (I do not know why), is that in win x64 19042.746 he wants you to start him, while in win x86 19042.685 he reboots himself.
