CrowdStrike blames test software for its BSOD issue

In an unparalleled event, Windows users face security issues worldwide as their systems are stuck at the dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). The root cause? A content update from CrowdStrike’s Falcon, a widely used cybersecurity software. This article will go through the details of this global outage, its impact, and the solution.

CrowdStrike Falcon update causes BSOD

CrowdStrike, a major player in the cybersecurity industry, recently pushed an update to its Falcon software. One of the files in this software was corrupted which was sent to a huge number of users.

This update, intended to enhance security measures, has accidentally caused a widespread crash of Microsoft Windows systems. Well, the issue affected less than 1% of all Windows machines, but in number that counts to a whopping 8.5 million devices.

So, how did this happen?

CrowdStrike Falcon issue

The main issue was with the C-00000291*.sys file which should’ve contained device drivers and hardware configurations necessary for the system’s operation. However, during the update, CrowdStrike inadvertently replaced the driver’s data with null characters. Due to this failure in their build mechanism, the essential content was missing. Consequently, they released an update with a non-functional driver, leading to system instability.

That being said, it’s also important to note that the CrowdStrike Falcon update which caused BSOD is not a cyber-attack, but rather an unfortunate technical glitch.

The crash has affected a wide range of CrowdStrike’s clients across various industries. While not all customers are publicly disclosed, some high-profile organizations like Sony, Dell, Hyundai, FedEx, Uber, etc are some of them.

Airlines resorted to handwriting boarding pass numbers, healthcare services were disrupted, and hospitals had to shut down electronic medical records and what else not.

It is unlikely for a big company like CrowdStrike to make a blunder like this, but everyone makes mistakes, you know!

Solutions

While the issue continues, some users have found temporary relief by booting Windows machines into safe mode, deleting a specific system file, and rebooting. However, this was not a long-term solution, and many affected organizations were eagerly waiting for a more permanent fix.

Just a few hours ago, CrowdStrike acknowledged the issue and provided a manual solution to its customers. To fix the CrowdStrike Windows 10 BSOD issue, follow these steps:

  1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or WRE
  2. Navigate to C:/Windows/System32/drivers/CrowdStrike
  3. Locate and delete the file matching “C-000000291*.sys”
  4. Boot normally

Although the steps look easy, the manual fix is tedious and time-consuming, requiring users to navigate system directories and delete specific files. This makes it a challenging and complex process for many affected users.

Looking Ahead

As cybersecurity keeps changing, this incident shows how important it is to balance security and system stability. While big companies should have a cyber security department of their own, trusting a third-party company with their essential data is risky.

This global outage underscores the critical role of cybersecurity software in our increasingly digital world and the potential widespread impact of even minor glitches in such systems.

CrowdStrike’s Response and Impact

Today CrowdStrike released a preliminary post-incident review addressing the actual cause behind the issue. The company will upload a detailed Root Cause Analysis soon. Here’s what they have got to say about it.

CrowdStrike’s reason behind the issue

CrowdStrike provides security updates in two ways i.e. Sensor Content and Rapid Response Content.

Sensor Content is usually an AI and Machine Learning model and is tested before release. Before becoming available to customers, they go through testing, and even after the availability customers can control when to install these updates.

The buggy update on July 19 was not caused by Sensor Content.

The main reason behind this cause was the Rapid Response Content, which CrowdStrike uses to perform behavioural pattern-matching to detect threats.

“These updates are a regular part of the dynamic protection mechanisms of the Falcon platform. The problematic Rapid Response Content configuration update resulted in a Windows system crash,” says CrowdStrike.

Rapid Response Content updates how the sensor behaves to detect malware. It is quickly deployed from the cloud and doesn’t require changes to the sensor’s code. Unfortunately, the update that caused the BSOD contained an error that was not detected during validation.

Testing and Deployment Process of Rapid Response Content

Rapid Response Content is created, validated, and deployed through a comprehensive system that includes:

  • Content Configuration System: This system is responsible for creating and validating updates.
  • Content Interpreter: This component on the sensor reads the updates.
  • Sensor Detection Engine: This engine uses updates to detect threats.

The update caused crashes because there was a bug in the system that checks for errors, which allowed the faulty update to be released.

CrowdStrike’s opinion

CrowdStrike promises to improve Rapid Response Content testing by incorporating local developer testing, content update and rollback testing, stress testing, fuzzing, and fault injection. However, this incident highlights the importance of balancing rapid updates and system stability. CrowdStrike is working to prevent similar issues in the future and will release a detailed Root Cause Analysis soon.

Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (2023) receives a price drop in Nepal

Lenovo updated its Legion gaming laptops with the latest mobile chips from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA at the CES 2023. It is now available in Nepal. So, let’s discuss the specs, features, price, and availability of the Legion 5 Pro series 2023 (Pro 5 and Pro 5i) in Nepal.

Legion Pro 5i Series 2023 (Overview):

Lenovo seems to have revamped the Legion gaming laptops series—since we only have two options this year. Unlike what’s generally assumed, the Legion Pro 5 replaces last year’s Legion 5 and not the Legion 5 Pro.

Performance and Memory

As always, there are two models under the Legion Pro 5 series: Pro 5 and Pro 5i. The “i” suffix on the latter represents the Intel processor inside. Here, Lenovo has gone with the latest 13th Gen Intel HX-series mobile processors. The base configuration has the intel I7-13900H, while users can also opt for higher-end models with Core i7-12700H and Core i9-13900HX.

There are three CPU options on the AMD Ryzen-powered Legion Pro 5. Here, users can choose from Ryzen 5, 7645HX, Ryzen 7 7745HX, and Ryzen 9 77845HX.

Legion Pro 5 2023 Design

CPU aside, other specifications of the 8th Gen Lenovo Pro 5 and Pro 5i are pretty similar, starting with the GPU options. The base model of the Legion Pro 5 series (2023) comes with the RTX 3050 processors. However, you can opt for RTX 40-series GPU as well: RTX 4070, 4060, and 4070, all with a 140W TGP. Legion Pro 5 series (2023) also boasts a MUX switch to bypass the integrated for that extra bit of performance.

Lenovo LA AI Chip and Cooling

This year’s Lenovo Legion series laptops are the first gaming laptops with a dedicated AI chip. While AI-based solutions have been there on gaming laptops for performance improvement, Lenovo claims the new LA chips on its Legion laptops are the first AI hardware on laptops. The LA A1 on Legion Pro 5 reads the load on the CPU and the GPU to adjust the heat management accordingly.

Moreover, Lenovo has upgraded the cooling system to keep up with the heat. The new Legion Coldfront 5.0 cooling tech brings an improved fan system, custom fan curve controls, larger intakes, and exhausts.

Design and Display

Lenovo Legion Pro 5 and Pro 5i will be available in Onyx Grey and Abyss Blue finishes. These laptops feature a polymer chassis with a metal lid. Most Legion laptops now come with a 16:10 IPS screen, and it is the case with the new Legion Pro 5 series. Here, you get a 16-inch WQXGA screen with up to 240Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of brightness, and 100% Adobe RGB covers. Screen options listed so far boast NVIDIA G-SYNC, X-Rite Pantone Certification, and Dolby Vision.

Interestingly, there is no FHD option this year, but we expect Lenovo to bring it down the line for South Asia and other regions.

Rest of the Specs

The Legion Pro 5 and Pro 5i (2023) are fueled by an 80Whr battery with support for Super Rapid Charge. Thus, they can go from 0 to 80% in just 30 minutes and reach 100% in an hour. Based on the configuration and the region, these laptops will ship with 300W, 230W, or 140W adapters.

The connectivity is also pretty good as you get two USB-Cs, three USB-As, one HDMI, one ethernet, and a combined audio jack. Likewise, there is Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1 for wireless networks.
