Overview
Back in 2015 a bug that crashed Chrome web browser.This was due to a 26 or 30 character URL string that added a null character but it was fixed by google.Those of you with long memories might remember one of the annoying bugs of the Windows 95 and 98 era:certain specially crafted filenames could make the operating system crash.
According to new reveal a similar kind of bug affects Windows Vista, 7, and 8.1.This bug can help a notorious player use certain bad filenames to make the system lock up or crash it with a blue screen of death.
Why does windows crash?
Windows has some filenames that are fixed for hardware devices. they don’t represent any actual file. As Ars Technica reports, a filename including two references to a special device would crash Windows. For example, c:\con\con. If this file is attempted to be loaded from file:///c:/con/con, then the machine would crash.
This bug also uses another special filename $MFT. This is the filename is used by a special metadata file that’s used by NTFS file system, But, if $MFT is used in a directory name, e.g. trying to open the file c:\$MFT\123, then machine hangs.
This bug fortunately doesn't affect Windows 10.It has been reported to microsoft and we don't know when an fix will be released.
