Description

This module exploits the keyboard layout vulnerability exploited by Stuxnet. When
processing specially crafted keyboard layout files (DLLs), the Windows kernel fails
to validate that an array index is within the bounds of the array. By loading
a specially crafted keyboard layout, an attacker can execute code in Ring 0.
