In February, Microsoft quietly started testing the fix within Windows Insider builds. This week, as part of the April 2021 Patch Tuesday, Microsoft has finally fixed the vulnerability in all supported versions of Windows 10.

Microsoft has classified this bug as a DDoS vulnerability and is tracking it as CVE-2021-28312 with the title 'Windows NTFS Denial of Service Vulnerability.'

After installing this week's Patch Tuesday updates, BleepingComputer can confirm that the bug no longer works as it will now just display an error stating that "The directory name is invalid,"
BleepingComputer strongly recommends that all Windows users install the latest Patch Tuesday security updates. Not only for this vulnerability but the 107 other vulnerabilities fixed this month.
