          This module exploits CVE-2019-1458, an arbitrary pointer dereference vulnerability
          within win32k which occurs due to an uninitalized variable, which allows user mode attackers
          to write a limited amount of controlled data to an attacker controlled address
          in kernel memory. By utilizing this vulnerability to execute controlled writes
          to kernel memory, an attacker can gain arbitrary code execution
          as the SYSTEM user.

          This module has been tested against Windows 7 x64 SP1. Offsets within the
          exploit code may need to be adjusted to work with other versions of Windows.
          The exploit can only be triggered once against the target and can cause the
          target machine to reboot when the session is terminated.
