Description

On default Microsoft Windows installations of PostgreSQL the postgres
service account may write to the current directory (which is usually
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\\data" where is the
major.minor version of PostgreSQL). UDF DLL's may be sourced from
there as well.

This module uploads a Windows DLL file via the pg_largeobject method
of binary injection and creates a UDF (user defined function) from
that DLL. Because the payload is run from DllMain, it does not need to
conform to specific Postgres API versions.
