BUT THE POINT HERE IS....... THE SHORTCUT IS POINTING TO ITSELF WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A DOS!!!
It seems to me that what you've discovered is that infinite loops are resource hogs. I wouldn't call this a vulnerability so much as a computer
science 101 revelation. Interesting from a theoretical perspective,
perhaps, but not really worthy of a lot of discussion here. If someone
is able to plant a self-referencing shortcut on your desktop, you have,
as they say, larger fish to fry.
