DESCRIPTION:

There is a problem with the way Windows (tested with
Win98 and Win2k Server) handles shortcut (.lnk) files.

A specially crafted shortcut will crash
explorer.exe/shell32.dll.

A shortcut, say, A.lnk is created and it is made to
point to another
shortcut B.lnk. Then, B.lnk is made to point to A.lnk.
Now when the
folder containing these two files is viewed or
accessed in any way,
explorer crashes.
