Description

This module exploits a vulnerability in the MS10-046 patch to abuse (again) the handling
of Windows Shortcut files (.LNK) that contain an icon resource pointing to a malicious
DLL. This creates an SMB resource to provide the payload and the trigger, and generates a
LNK file which must be sent to the target. This module has been tested successfully on
Windows 2003 SP2 with MS10-046 installed and Windows 2008 SP2 (32 bits) with MS14-027
installed.
