Description

This module exploits a flaw in the nicm.sys driver to execute arbitrary code in
kernel space. The vulnerability occurs while handling ioctl requests with code
0x143B6B, where a user provided pointer is used as function pointer. The module
has been tested successfully on Windows 7 SP1 with Novell Client 2 SP3.
