Microsoft Vista BitLocker Drive Encryption API Hijacking Exploit
This exploit takes advantage of the Microsoft Vista BitLocker Drive Encryption API to execute arbitrary code. The exploit is triggered by creating a file with one of the vulnerable extensions (.wbcat) in the same directory as the malicious DLL. When the system attempts to access the file, the malicious DLL is loaded and the hook_startup() function is executed, which in turn executes the evil() function. The evil() function then executes the Windows calculator application.
Mitigation:
Microsoft has released a patch to address this vulnerability.
