        This module exploits a flaw in the nwfs.sys driver to overwrite data in kernel
        space. The corruption occurs while handling ioctl requests with code 0x1438BB,
        where a 0x00000009 dword is written to an arbitrary address. An entry within the
        HalDispatchTable is overwritten in order to execute arbitrary code when
        NtQueryIntervalProfile is called. The module has been tested successfully on
        Windows XP SP3 with Novell Client 4.91 SP4.
