Windows 10 error gives BSOD when you go to this site

Ένα σφάλμα στα Windows 10 προκαλεί μπλε οθόνη και συντρίβει το your , simply by 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, as an argument in various Windows programming functions. For example, this allows an application to interact directly with a physical disk without going through the file system.

Lykkegaard discovered the following path, for the "console multiplexer driver" which he believes is used for the "kernel / 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.

Worse, users with low Windows privileges can attempt to connect to the device using this path, making it easy for any program running on a computer to 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 has not been determined whether this bug could be exploited for remote code or gain additional privileges, in its current form can 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 run a command that accesses that path, on all Windows 10 devices on a network, to crash them. The damage caused to the network could delay or hinder investigations to detect the attack on a specific 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.
