Windows 10 error gives BSOD when you go to this site

An error in Windows 10 causes blue screen and crashes your operating system, 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 functions προγραμματισμού των Windows. Για παράδειγμα, αυτό επιτρέπει σε μια εφαρμογή να αλληλεπιδρά απευθείας με έναν φυσικό δίσκο, χωρίς να περάσει από το σύστημα files.

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 !!!

When connecting to this device, developers expect to communicate with it properly. Lykkegaard discovered that trying to connect to this path will cause a Blue error Screen of Death (BSOD) 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 execution code or to 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 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.
