Description

A vulnerability exists within the Microsoft Server Message Block 3.1.1 (SMBv3) protocol that can be leveraged to
execute code on a vulnerable server. This remove exploit implementation leverages this flaw to execute code
in the context of the kernel, finally yielding a session as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM in spoolsv.exe. Exploitation
can take a few minutes as the necessary data is gathered.
