A new Windows flaw that permits all existing and supported editions of Windows to be crashed has been published by Israeli researcher, Gil Dabah on Friday.

The bug lets a local user to cause on a system to experience a death crash with simply a blue screen left at last.

Mainly, this will let attackers to run a code on their options of kernel rights, but in practice, it would be somewhat tricky to happen as per the nature of the flaw.

The virus is in a kernel-mode component that has been named as win32k. sys, which tackles a number of features available in Windows such as window management and 2D graphics.

This particular flaw is in the component’s tackling of the system clipboard, with the help of particular deformed data onto the clipboard and then the system can be made to crash the screen in an outright manner.

When Windows had just been introduced, the component that is under doubt did not run in a kernel state, since it moved there for Windows NT 4, with doing so made 2D desktop graphics typically faster.

win32k. sys has continued to be in kernel mode ever since and the effect of it is that this flaw has its impact upon Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2, for both x86 and x64.
