A new serious error has been revealed by a researcher, according to information from Tom's Guide, which leads to a crash of the Windows 10 system.
Τthe bug was recently discovered by a Windows security researcher, Jonas Lykkegaard, who often referred to Twitter for this issue from October 2020.
Attention, do not try to enter the following file address, as the risk of damaging your computer is high and we do not take any responsibility for it! Lykkegaard explained that when one opens the path "\\. \ globalroot \ device \ condrv \ kernelconnect»In a browser in Windows 10, regardless of whether the user has administrator privileges or not, the system can not properly check for errors when trying to connect to the path, resulting in the error BSOD.
Both Tom's Guide and BleepingComputer seem to have tried this link with unpleasant results. The computer that used it Tom's Guide, as the site reports, got stuck in a vicious boot cycle for Automatic RepairWhile BleepingComputer did not say exactly what damaged their computer, but confirmed that this error exists in Windows 10 version 1709 and later.
Such accesses are not uncommon for the average computer user and may involve developers. But the risk is great. This error could be exploited by hackers and denial of service attacks (Two). For example, a hacker could create a simple file with the above path and deceive a user by clicking on the link, sending it as an email, and thus destroying his computer.
A Microsoft spokesman told BleepingComputer: "Microsoft has a commitment to its customers to investigate security issues and we will provide updates for affected devices as soon as possible".
So it seems that Microsoft is aware of the issue and is trying to resolve it, but does not have a timeline for when an update will be released to Windows 10 version 1709 or later. We, we repeat, yes do not attempt to navigate to the path of this file and be on the lookout for suspicious links and files that may appear in your inbox or elsewhere on the Internet.
