This exploit uses a technique called LNK stomping that allows specially crafted LNK files with non-standard target paths or internal structures to cause the file to be opened while bypassing Smart App Control and the Mark of the Web security warnings.

This module allow to set a short name 8.3 of a file when you don't have write privileges to the directory where the file is located.The vulnerability exists due to NtfsSetShortNameInfo does not properly impose security restrictions in NTFS Set Short Name, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and speculative execution of memory reads before the addresses of all prior memory writes are known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), Variant 4.

Spectre breaks the isolation between different applications. It allows an attacker to trick error-free programs, which follow best practices, into leaking their secrets. In fact, the safety checks of said best practices actually increase the attack surface and may make applications more susceptible to Spectre

This module performs a local check in order to detect if the target is vulnerable to CVE 2017-5154 (aka Meltdown).

This update adds Windows support.

This module performs a local check in order to detect if the target is vulnerable to CVE 2017-5154 (aka Meltdown).

This vulnerability allows to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .LNK file, which is not properly handled during icon display in Windows Explorer or any other application that parses the icon of the shortcut. aka "LNK Remote Code Execution Vulnerability."

This module executes a program designed to check for a buffer overflow in glibc's getaddrinfo function. Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the send_dg and send_vc functions in the libresolv library in the GNU C Library allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family.

Insufficient input validation in ImageMagick can lead to code execution when processing with certain types of files. This update introduces a module that generates an MVG format file that, when manipulated by the vulnerable versions of ImageMagick tools, deploys an agent in the supported systems.

This update improves the SMB relay attack when SMB is signed.
